Canada Research Chair in
Structural Systems Biology

Our laboratory uses a structural (CryoEM, X-ray crystallography, NMR) and molecular biology approach combined with biophysical assays to investigate the molecular aspects of attachment proteins of emerging pathogens and interactions with the host and other microbes.

Our projects

Mobirise Website Builder
Role of protein dynamics towards immune evasion

Proteins are often seen as rigid bodies, however, they experience a multitude of molecular motions occurring on various timescale. Can alteration of protein motions be a mechanism to promote immune evasion?

Mobirise Website Builder
How to engineer therapeutics using protein dynamics

If proteins (and protein-protein interactions) allow for conformational flexibility (or motions), can we exploit this property toward engineering better therapeutics?

Mobirise Website Builder
Host-pathogens interactions

Viral and fungal pathogens use a broad diversity of host-cell receptors to promote entry and invasion. We will define the structural, molecular and biophysical aspects of the host-pathogen interactome.
