Background

I am currently a PhD candidate in Bioinformatics at UCSF, joint with Patricia Babbitt and Andrej Sali.

Research Summary

My project is a large-scale study of the evolution of enzyme function from the perspective of the enzyme's substrates. Understanding how substrate substructures are conserved among groups of related enzymes, we can improve our ability to predict function and to engineer new functions for enzymes.
