Logan Tenney was born and raised in Wisconsin, where he completed his undergraduate studies at UW-Madison, conducting research in Sam Gellman's laboratory. There he investigated the impact of beta amino acid incorporation and other non-natural structural modifications of the GLP-1 peptide on its potency and ability to bias signal transduction pathways. Upon graduation he moved to Frederick, Maryland for a position at the National Cancer Institute in the Chemical Biology Laboratory (CBL) in Jay Schneekloth's group. His work at the CBL focused on utilizing structure guided design to develop selective, high affinity small molecule ligands that bind RNA secondary and tertiary structures and, in turn, modulate RNA function. After, he completed his PhD dissertation in Chris Chang's laboratory where he integrated chemical probe design with cellular imaging and activity-based protein profiling to illuminate the regulatory networks governing 1C species and their roles in health and disease. Logan is excited to continue his research at the interface of chemistry and biology in the Morstein lab, working on new methods for imaging lipids. In his free time, he enjoys live music, cooking, camping, drinking wine, running/hiking/walking, spending quality time with his loved ones, smelling flowers, and birdwatching.
