The goal of our laboratory is to understand molecular mechanisms of biological processes that are fundamental to cellular biology and to human health. We are interested in protein folding assisted by molecular chaperones, transcriptional control of gene regulation, and mitochondrial homeostasis. We employ a wide range of experimental approaches, including molecular biology, combinatorial biology, biochemistry, structural biology, and particularly protein crystallography. We seek self-motivated and committed students to work on these important and challenging projects.
