At Cryo-EM Integrative Structural Biology Lab, our research focuses on:
- Photosynthetic Processes: We strive to understand the central processes in photosynthetic organisms through high-resolution structural characterization using cryo-EM. This includes studying membrane-associated/bounded pigment-protein complexes, supercomplexes of metabolic pathways, and decoding stoichiometries, subunit proximity, interfaces, and reaction centers.
- Cellular Transport Mechanisms: Our secondary research interest delves into the intricate structures of cellular transport vesicles and the dynamics of key proteins governing intracellular trafficking and membrane dynamics. We aim to decode the mechanisms underlying cellular transport, focusing on processes like vesicle assembly and disassembly.
Bem-vindo ao Cryo-EM Lab, onde exploramos mistérios biológicos através de microscopia crioeletrônica de ponta. A nossa missão: decodificar os segredos da vida, investigando tanto a fotossíntese quanto os mecanismos de transporte celular. Ao capturar instantâneos detalhados de proteínas fotossintéticas e portadores de carga celular, obtemos insights sobre aproveitamento de energia e potenciais avanços médicos. Junte-se a nós nesta aventura científica enquanto desvendamos os segredos dos projetos da vida, revelando descobertas fascinantes nas maravilhas microscópicas do mundo.
