Professional Background:
B.S. 1994: Massachusetts Institute of Technology
M.S. 1996: Cornell University
Ph.D. 2000: Cornell University
Postdoctoral Fellow: Harvard University
Research Synopsis:
My laboratory uses the tools of biochemistry and X-ray crystallography to study the structure and function of enzymes and other interesting proteins. My group's two areas of focus are enzymes involved in regulation of circadian rhythms (casein kinase 1 δ and ε and nocturnin), and enzymes involved in natural product biosynthesis (currently flavin-dependent monooxygenases and tryptophan halogenases involved in indolotryptoline biosynthesis).
