Structure-Function Analysis of Proteins - The main objective of our research is to define the relationship between the structure and function of biological macromolecules. Our research focuses on macromolecules that regulate the key steps in the life of eukaryotic and prokaryotic pathogens including parasites, bacteria and viruses. Results of our investigations inform drug discovery and vaccine development. We use a variety of biophysical and biochemical techniques in our studies.
