Research Focus

Her research investigates heme proteins' structure-function relationships using spectroscopic techniques (resonance Raman, UV-visible absorbance, electron spin resonance) and kinetic analysis. Key research areas include:

• Heme-binding protein A in Haemophilus influenzae for heme sequestration
• Catalase-peroxidases (especially Mycobacterium tuberculosis KatG) for tuberculosis drug activation
• Heme-based sensor proteins detecting O₂, CO, and NO
