    Research

    Large protein ultrastructures are prevalent in biology, with diverse functions ranging from heartbeats to viral infection. While conformations and dynamics of protein monomers in solution have been well studied, their organization and coordinated functions within the complex chemical and physical environments of the cell are less well understood yet critical for the development of medical therapies and biotechnology.
