RESEARCH INTERESTS:
Our research program spans a broad range of chemistry, chemical biology, microbiology, bioinorganic chemistry, cell biology and structural biology. We probe the pathways and mechanisms of DNA/RNA repair and modification. We work on virulence and antibiotic resistance regulation in human pathogens, and develop new antibiotics. We study selective metal ion recognition and sensing by naturally occurring and engineered proteins. We also explore metal-catalyzed organic transformations.
