Drug design and crystallography of protein complexes
Focused at understanding how the flow of genetic information is controlled inside cells and altered to result in disease phenotypes
Biofuel, activation and reduction of carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide, artificial enzymes, assembly & function of enzymes containing complex metal
My laboratory’s research focuses upon the chemistry and biology of peptides and their applications as antibiotics and in Alzheimer’s disease.
Physiology and structural biology of the first steps of vertebrate vision, retinoid and carotenoid metabolism, retinal disease and therapeutics
Functional analysis of rod and cone photoreceptor cells, mechanisms of light- and dark-adaptation, and photoreceptor degeneration and visual disorders
Biofuel, activation and reduction of carbon dioxide, structure & function of metalloenzymes involved in methanogenesis, photosynthesis and nitrogen fixation
Structure-function relationships in metalloproteins, protein engineering, and biological C-H bond activation
