Research Interests
The main goal of my laboratory is to elucidate the molecular underpinnings that govern macromolecular transport within eukaryotic cells. In particular, my lab employs innovative cryo-EM methodologies to provide an atomic-level understanding of the structure and dynamics that govern these complex biological processes. Our current research is focused on developing and utilizing novel biophysical and biochemical methodologies to isolate transient protein complexes necessary for macromolecular transport into and within mitochondria and determine their 3D structures using innovative high-resolution cryo-EM methodologies.
