Research Interests
My research involves both the development and application of computational and experimental methods to study four interrelated scientific areas:
-
Protein folding and misfolding
-
Protein structures and complexes
-
Protein evolution
-
Genetic adaption under changing environmental condition
We combine both computational and experimental approaches in one united effort.
