X-ray Crystallography of Tuberculosis and Muscular Dystrophy
I am an X-ray crystallographer, who works on a wide range of collaborations on structure determination and analysis. My own research interests are in the proteins of M.tuberculosis, particularly the proteins of dormancy and peptidoglycan regulation, and in proteins involved in muscular dystrophy particularly dysferlin and its role in membrane repair in Limb Girdle Muscular Dystrophy type 2B.
