research Summary
My research interests are focused on the application of high field NMR spectroscopic methods to determine novel protein structures in order to gain insight into function at the molecular level. Related to this area, I am also interested in probing the complex relationship between protein sequence and structure. While NMR spectroscopy plays a key role in most of our studies, my laboratory also uses a number of other biophysical tools as well as bioinformatics, chemistry, biochemistry, and molecular biology techniques. Two main projects currently underway in the lab are summarized briefly here.
