Thank you for visiting our website. Our research is inspired by the close link between protein structure and function, and centers on three core areas: Protein Structure-Function & Engineering – Using sequence- and structure-guided approaches to enhance or suppress specific protein functions for diverse biotechnological applications. Membrane Proteins in Stress Response – Investigating how membrane proteins mediate stress perception and signaling, with a current focus on plant proteins involved in salinity stress tolerance. Recombinant Membrane Protein Expression & Purification – Developing optimized protocols for expressing, purifying, and characterizing membrane proteins despite their hydrophobic, dynamic nature.
