Biography

I’m interested in mechanistically understanding how isopeptide crosslinking occurs post-exposure to organophosphorus toxicants. I synthesize peptides in situ while modifying functional groups, to probe how this crosslinking occurs as well as investigate vulnerable sequences based on these interactions.
