Join the Lab
We're looking for curious, rigorous people who want to push structural biology forward—and who care about where that science ends up.
Dr. Jamaine Davis
Principal Investigator & Associate Professor · Assistant Dean for Scholarly Productivity & Innovation — Belmont University, Thomas F. Frist, Jr. College of Medicine
Dr. Davis leads the lab's work at the intersection of structural biology, genetics, and health disparities — including research into how ABCA7 variants shape Alzheimer's risk in African Americans. He is a member of the Vanderbilt Memory and Alzheimer's Center and a co-founder of BioStruct-Africa's training programs.
