Research summary
AI-generated

This researcher studies the structural biology of proteins involved in transporting and processing molecules within cells, including bacterial transport proteins, receptors, and enzymes that break down chemical compounds. Recent work focuses on how specific molecules bind to and move through membrane transport systems, and on drug interactions with cell surface receptors. This research relies heavily on structural and biochemical methods to understand molecular mechanisms at an atomic level.
