Area of Interest
The research in my lab is divided into two main areas:
- Atomic force microscopy and fluorescence studies of protein-protein and protein-nucleic acid interactions.
- Mechanistic studies of transcription elongation. My research spans the biochemical, biophysical, and analytical regimes.
