Alekhya Govindaraju studies microbial metabolism and cell signaling using molecular biology and biochemistry approaches. One line of work examines how bacteria (especially methylotrophs, which grow on one-carbon compounds like methanol) process nutrients and interact within microbial communities, while another explores how G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs)—cell-surface proteins that receive signals—behave in living cells using single-molecule imaging. The work spans both environmental microbiology and receptor biology.
