Research Interests include understanding how protein conformational changes and dynamic behavior mediate stress response pathways. The lab employs interdisciplinary approaches combining biophysics, structural biology, and complementary biochemical techniques to identify novel therapeutic strategies for diseases linked to dynamic macromolecular dysfunction.

Publication Trends across 2007–2024 highlight consistent focus on protein dynamics, allosteric regulation, and biophysical characterization of disordered systems. Key topics include multivalency, redox-dependent structural changes, and therapeutic targeting of dynamic protein interactions.

Training & Environment: Lab members engage in collaborative research across biophysical, structural, and chemical disciplines, with emphasis on professional development, conference participation, and inclusive scientific training.
