Areas of Specialty:
- Protein structure and function
- Protein folding, misfolding and aggregation
- AAA+ ATPases in cellular physiology and pathogenesis
- Molecular chaperones
- Development of novel antimicrobials
Our research is focused on the AAA+ superfamily of proteins. AAA stands for "ATPases associated with a variety of cellular activities", which implies that these proteins use energy from ATP and perform a variety of functions.
Our research is focused on understanding the protein components of the stress-response and quality-control pathways, their structure, and the mechanism of their function.”
Research:
- Biochemistry & Molecular Biophysics – Studies the stress-response and protein quality-control pathways
Expertise: Biochemistry and Molecular Biophysics - Studies protein structure and function and cellular protein quality control
