Assistant Professor at UC Davis Plant Biology Department. Researching respiratory chains of photosynthetic organisms. Biochemistry, cell/mol biology, cryoEM.
Davis, California
Joined November 2011
The first pre-print from our lab is out! We determined the cryoEM structure of the PSI-FCP supercomplex from kelp to understand evolutionary drivers for antenna conservation and diversification.
