    • Main area of work

    My research interests, so far, have been driven by the quest of understanding the macromolecular basis in biological system by studying their structure and the correlation between structure and biochemical function.

  • Structural Characterization of Proteins and Nucleic Acids
  • NMR Spectroscopy of Biomolecules
  • Protein-DNA, Protein-Protein and Protein-Ligand interactions
