Stella M. Lai's research focuses on using mass spectrometry and biochemical methods to study proteins and RNA-protein complexes, including how large molecular machines are structured and assembled. Work spans topics like native mass spectrometry (a technique to study proteins and complexes in their natural folded states), engineered protein assemblies, and the RNA-protein enzyme RNase P, which processes transfer RNA (tRNA) molecules needed for building proteins in cells.
