Degree:
B.A. Biology, Johns Hopkins University
Lab affiliation: Dr. Gulick
Research Interests:My current research relates
to the biochemical and crystallographic study of Non-Ribosomal
Peptide Synthetases. This is a family of multi-modular enzymes
that produce many important bioactive compounds, from antibiotics
to anticancer molecules, using an assembly line-like logic. Structural
knowledge of the modular interactions, and the domain choreography
that allows the assembly line to function, will enable insightful
design of novel medicinally relevant compounds. |
