Research Interests

The major focus of this lab is to apply and develop NMR and related structural characterization techniques such as transmission electron microscopy to investigate the structure and dynamics of biomacromular assemblies, and to develop novel coarse-grain models to understand the self-assembly mechanism. Specifically the research activities involve the following directions:


1. Structure characterization of polymorphic assembly of biomolecules, such as the capsid proteins of viruses, or prions by TEM and NMR.

2. The structures and dynamics of membrane Peptides.

3. Innovation coarse-grain model for the self-assembly of large biomolecular system, such as the HIV capsid assembly.
