Bio

I am a structural biochemist, molecular biophysicist, molecular biologist and cell biologist. My research interests focus upon the science, design and engineering of proteins, and protein-related or protein-derived technologies. I work with (or have worked with) questions relating to protein design and redesign relating to issues of folding; misfolding and aggregation; thermodynamic and kinetic stability; enzymatic activity and/or other function; interactions of proteins with other molecules.
