Research summary
AI-generated

This researcher works in structural biology and molecular biology, using techniques like cryo-electron microscopy to understand how proteins and molecular machines function, including immune signaling complexes, ion channels, and cellular defense systems. Their work spans topics such as mechanosensitive channels (which detect physical force in cells), CRISPR-related anti-phage defense systems, nuclear pore complexes, and inflammation-related pathways, often connecting molecular structure to disease-relevant function.
