Research

Utilizing biochemical and biophysical approaches, I am interested in developing novel peptide-based inhibitors targeting the TEM-1 and other beta-lactamases. Additionally, I work on understanding allosteric communication as it occurs in the context of bacterial and viral enzymes. Allostery and other forms of protein dynamics are exploitable from a biomedical perspective while also elucidating fundamental biochemical and biophysical properties underlying the protein structure-function relationship.
