- Heidelberg University (Tiffin, OH)
BIO
I've been an insulin-dependent diabetic since 1999 and have always been curious about mechanisms of disease. I'm from Michigan originally and went to college at a tiny liberal arts university in Ohio, worked in the labs at that university and did a couple of internships elsewhere, so now I'm very glad that I get to now do science at a large university. I'm currently studying a protein involved in many unrelated forms of cancer using biochemical and structural biology techniques. Our lab recently got involved with Cryo-EM and it's very cool to be able to take pictures of single protein particles (literally!) which will then help us elucidate their mechanism of action.
Area(s) of expertise
Structural biology, chromatin-associated proteins, epigenetics
