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.

Congratulations to Anoosha, who won the Early-Stage TPCB student poster award at the TPCB Symposium
Wamiah awarded the Metropolitan Anti-Viral Drug Accelerator post-doctoral fellowship June 2023 Liz, Seth and JK Lyu award the Metropolitan Anti-Viral Drug Accelerator (Gabe's research) Congrats to Barbara who won the 2023 Nat Sternberg thesis prize. The prize is awarded for outstanding Ph.D. work in the field of bacterial molecular biology. True it's for her work in the Rock lab, but we take some of the glory :) Congrats Ruby Froom and Josh Brewer were picked to give a talk at the GRS TB Drug discovery and Development Congrats to Maddie for receiving the Carl Storm Underrepresented Minority Fellowship at the GRC TB Drug discovery and Development Congrats to Gabe small for being selected to give a talk at the Nido2023 meeting Congrats to Liz for receiving the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Institute for Global Infectious Disease Research award Nina presenting her awesome work on the role of sigma 1.1 in promoter melting at the GRC on Microbial Transcription
Congrats to Barbara- we are so lucky to have this star!
