The Ressl lab studies the structure and function of proteins by combing biophysics, biochemistry and cell biology, as the gateway to visualize and understand their biological, physical and chemical properties. We are fascinated by visualizing how proteins work on the atomic scale and we cross the resolution range up to the cellular level.
