Bio
With kin interest in studying viruses at a molecular level, I have joined the Arnold lab as a postdoc in June 2021. With my educational background in Chemistry and Biochemistry and solid expertise in crystallography and biophysical techniques, I try to unravel mysteries about some of the nasty viruses that our group is working on currently.
Research Focus
Studying the structure and function of human viral proteins and polyproteins, including from HIV-1 and SARS-CoV-2
