Research and Teaching Interests
Our research focuses on the understanding of structure and function of the voltage-gated anion-selective channel (VDAC) in fungal mitochondria. We are investigating the structure and organization of VDAC in membrane-mimetics such as detergents, using a variety of biophysical methods. We are also probing the roles of this membrane protein in the function and regulation of mitochondrial and cellular activities, using proteomic and genetic approaches.
