Specific research projects include (1) Exploring the mechanism of
protein misfolding or amyloid formation in Parkinson’s disease by using
NMR and other biophysical techniques (2) Determining the structure and
dynamics of globular protein/collagen complexes to understand the basis
for protein/collagen recognition and disease using solution NMR.
Candidates must have experience in biomolecular NMR and molecular
biology.
Our laboratory has abundant access to state of the
art NMR spectrometers including an 800 MHz Varian, a 700 MHz Bruker
