Education
Baylor UniversityWaco, TX
Ph.D. from Molecular Biochemistry
08.2022 - Current
University Overview
- Research Project: Structural Dynamics of Protein, the study of protein dynamics in cancer involves probing the catalytic activity of proteins through X-ray crystallography to gain deep insights into the active site residues contributing to catalysis. The real-time dynamics of the protein are investigated using millisecond mixing, followed by quenching X-ray crystallography. Changes in protein loops and side chains, which are crucial for catalysis, are examined by collecting X-ray data at room temperature.
- Relevant Coursework: Chemical Biology & Advanced chemical instrumentation
