RESEARCH SUMMARY

I am a protein crystallographer focused on molecular mechanisms and protein dynamics. My group develops and employs new methods to obtain high-resolution structures of medically-relevant proteins, including room-temperature, serial and time-resolved crystallography. We also study protein-ligand structures to link to medicinal chemistry efforts.
