2018 PhD Graduate in Biophysics
Dissertation Title: Crystallographic Snapshots of Functional Motions in Cobalamin Maintenance and Methylphosphonate Production PhD Dissertation Advisor: Dr. Catherine Drennan, Dept. of Biology, MIT
For my dissertation research, I was interested in metalloenzymes and metallochaperones involved in a variety of biological processes. Specifically, I used X-ray crystallography and biochemical/biophysical assays to elucidate structural features underlying the fascinating chemistry of metalloproteins.
