Scientific Interest

I am a joint student between the Walter and Douglas labs. I am interested in exploring applications of DNA nanotechnology in structural studies of proteins in the Unfolded Protein Response (UPR).

Current Research Interests

(1) Defining oligomeric state of IRE1 using DNA origami. (2) Structural studies of the UPR effector Hac1 with electron cryo-microscopy.
