Our research focuses on the structural biology of important membrane proteins, using single particle cryoEM and X-ray crystallography. We are working in close collaboration with the group of Prof. Vadim Cherezov (USC) on the structural biology of GPCRs. External
collaborations include the group of Prof. Dirk Slotboom (Univ. of Groningen) and Prof. K. Chris Garcia (Stanford University). </div>
