Research in my laboratory uses a multi-disciplinary, collaborative and structurally-oriented approach to address key problems in biology and medicine. At the molecular level, we study the structure and dynamics of proteins and their complexes with other proteins, nucleic acids and small molecule ligands. My independent career began as a biomolecular NMR spectroscopist, but our laboratory is now an integrated structural biology lab that uses many structural, biophysical and biochemical techniques, including calorimetry, fluorescence spectroscopy, X-ray crystallography, X-ray/neutron scattering, electron microscopy, computation, and biochemical assays in vitro and in cells. Our studies are greatly enhanced by numerous collaborators at Vanderbilt, around the country and across the world. Research areas include genome maintenance (DNA replication, damage response and repair), innate immunity and the host-pathogen struggle, and calcium regulation of cardiac ion channels.
