Our research group has two primary focuses. One part of the lab focuses on determining the mechanisms of intracellular ion and metabolite transport, while the second studies protein nucleic acid interactions that are critical for maintaining genomic integrity. We study these fundamental processes using a variety of cell biological, biochemical, structural and biophysical tools including cryo-electron microscopy and electrophysiology.
