Bio Sketch
I am a co-advised student in the Bren and Partridge groups. My research focuses on expressing and characterizing different cytochromes c. I am excited to learn more about these heme proteins and bioinorganic chemistry! In my free time, I like to do paint by numbers, watch different shows/movies on Amazon Prime, and try different eateries in the area.
If I were a cobalt complex I'd be CoGGH as like this structure, I like to combine cobalt's energy, glycine's flexibility and histidine's strength to tackle any challenges.
