Personal profile
Research Interests
Using electron microscopy, digital image reconstruction, biophysics and a diversity of biochemical approaches, his lab study the structure and function of membrane proteins and membrane-associated scaffolds. Currently their efforts focus on the mechanisms by which cells acquire and distribute copper ions, and how cells change the shape of their membranes.
