Areas of interest

Our lab uses molecular biology, protein chemistry, X-ray crystallography and other physical methods to investigate the structure and catalytic mechanism of enzymes. Currently we have many project related to viral protease self-processing, compartmentalized proteases, and eukaryotic membrane bound proteases.
