Professional Statement
I am driven by a deep curiosity for discovery at the crossroads of molecular biology, physiology, and biophysics. My current work centers on unraveling the dynamic behaviors of intrinsically disordered proteins that lie at the heart of neurodegenerative disease. With a commitment to both precision and relevance, I strive to merge high-resolution biophysical insight with the complexity of living systems- bridging molecular detail to physiological meaning. Through an interdisciplinary lens and a diverse experimental toolkit, my research seeks not only to illuminate the fundamental principles of protein biochemistry but to uncover new paths toward understanding and treating disease.
