My pronouns are she/her
I am currently investigating the molecular architecture of the chloroplast beta-barrel assembly machinery. My research focuses on elucidating the structure and mechanism of large, dynamic macromolecular complexes, particularly those embedded in challenging in situ environments such as cellular membranes. This work reflects my broader aim of dissecting the molecular basis of fundamental cellular processes through a combination of high-resolution imaging, computational analysis and interdisciplinary collaboration. Operating at the intersection of structural biology and computational biology, my work is fundamentally defined by the development and application of cutting-edge computational methods to extract high-resolution information from inherently noisy, low-signal electron microscopy data. My key goal is to transform vast and complex datasets into validated models that provide essential mechanistic insight into fundamental cellular processes.
