个人简介
B.S., California State University, Los Angeles Ph.D., Cornell University Postdoc, Cornell University
研究领域
Electron spin resonance; nuclear magnetic resonance, melanocortin receptor signaling, agouti and agouti-related proteins, prions, solid phase protein synthesis
We use biophysical methods to study neurological proteins, their cofactors and how misregulation contributes to disease.
