*Faculty Spotlight*

### [Joseph (Joey) Davis](https://biology.mit.edu/profile/joseph-joey-davis/)

*Associate Professor of Biology*

Joseph Davis develops and applies new structural (cryoEM/ET) and biochemical methods to dissect how macromolecular machines such as ribosomes and autophagy complexes are dynamically assembled, regulated, and degraded to maintain cellular homeostasis.
