Research Interests

I am a chemist by training. In my research, I use the concepts, tools, and language of chemistry to understand biology. My major research interests focus on the connection between protein structure and protein function. My research training is in multidimensional biomolecular NMR spectroscopy but we also use other spectroscopies and biophysical techniques as necessary to solve our research problems. To learn more about my research projects, follow the Research links on this page.

Education

I teach General Biochemistry to undergraduates at FSU. I also teach graduate level courses in Physical Biochemistry and NMR Spectroscopy. More information can be found by following the Teaching link to the right.

I Need Graduate Students!

With so many graduations in the past couple of years, I have openings for graduate students. You will receive training in molecular biology, protein chemistry, spectroscopy, and physical biochemistry. My previous students are working as postdocs, as faculty, and in industry. Contact me about working in my lab!

Postdoc Opportunities Available!

I have an opening for a postdoc in my lab. Candidates with experience in protein expression and purification, spectroscopy, and physical biochemistry are encouraged to apply!
