Telomere Biology

I am studying the protein complex CST which is essential in Telomere replication and upkeep, as well as having functions more broadly in DNA replication and repair. I am interested in how the structure of CST plays a role and helps guide its various functions bothÌýin vitroÌýandÌýin vivo.

Outside interests: playing basketball, and tennis, listening to podcasts and cheering on the Golden State Warriors.Ìý
