Lipid Metabolism
My lab studies lipid and lipoprotein metabolism. We are interested in how lipids alter intracellular processes and how lipid and protein structures interact to determine lipoprotein function. These studies combine microscopy, biochemistry, molecular genetics and molecular modeling to provide robust data sets.
