Interests

Our lab studies the mechanisms of enzymatic reactions necessary for maintaining the information stored in DNA and RNA. This work aids in drug design, the development of new biotechnological tools, and in the innovation of diagnostic technologies. Our lab is highly interdisciplinary. Students learn approaches and techniques in enzymatic catalysis, macromolecular interactions, protein expression/purification, reconstitution of biochemical reactions, biophysics, mechanistic biochemistry, structural biochemistry, and in vivo biological assays.
