Research

I have a background in biophysics and structural biology gained during my PhD with Dr Laura Itzhaki and a Post-doctoral post with Prof Nick Gay.  I am now applying these techniques to both isolated proteins and to proteins in a cellular context to investigate the properties and kinetics of protein:protein interactions that drive T-cell activation in John James's lab.
