Research
We focus on using different structural biology and biophysical methods to solve problems related to nervous system development and disease. While the main focus is on the molecules involved in the assembly of the myelin sheath, our scientific interests are broad. In addition to structural neurobiology, we enjoy membrane-binding proteins, intrinsically disordered molecules, X-rays and neutrons, and ultrahigh-resolution X-ray crystallography of macromolecules – to name but a few.
