Wesley D. Penn works in biochemistry and molecular biology, studying how proteins and RNA are made and how molecules move within and between cells. Past projects have included modeling human adrenergic receptors (proteins that respond to signaling molecules like adrenaline) and examining how proteins from the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum interact with red blood cell components. This work spans molecular-level mechanisms of protein function, cellular signaling, and host-pathogen interactions.
Publication activity generally grew over the last decade, rising from a single paper in 2017 to a peak of eight in 2023, with an average of about 4.4 papers per year over the past five years.
