RESEARCH INTERESTS
Structural Biology & Biochemistry. My research explores how proteins work, how molecular interactions establish emergent properties of specificity, allostery, and catalysis. With x-ray crystallography I obtained structures for DNA enzymes with DNA, including the first structure of a single-stranded DNA-protein complex found at the telomere. With Cryo-EM I aim to build structures for membrane proteins. My expertise helps colleagues think about biological systems in terms of molecular mechanisms.
