WHAT WE DOOur lab is located on the 3rd floor of the Rockefeller Research Building at Rockefeller University in New York City. We aim to visualize and develop a mechanistic understanding of biological complexes through a combination of biochemical and structural techniques (Cryo-EM) with an emphasis on RNA polymerases.
