Each new student is my partner in exploration and brings a fresh look at our ongoing research program. I aim to pass on my love for experimental science by working on problems of immediate biochemical and social significance.
Graduate students have a great deal of independence and are immersed in all aspects of a project.
But this is an adventure, not aimless wandering. Our goals require enthusiasm, determined effort, and the ability to tackle difficult problems. Our research focuses on structure, dynamics, and stability in nucleic acid systems. The structures are determined primarily by NMR methods. Designing drug candidates for anti-retroviral therapies based on structural, database, and screening procedures.
