I’m passionate about relating protein structure to function and using this information to: (1) better understand how life functions at a molecular level, and (2) inform the design of new molecules to address biomedical or biotechnological problems. I have had the privilege of working on a wide variety of proteins, ranging from microbial enzymes to mammalian nucleic acid binding proteins; gaining expertise in protein purification, X-ray crystallography & other biochemical/biophysical techniques.
