Research Interest

Our research program is focused on uncovering molecular mechanisms by which the nuclear chromatin landscape impacts different steps of DNA replication. We use an integrated mix of biochemical, biophysical, and structural methods (single-particle cryo-electron microscopy and X-ray crystallography) to identify and visualize key chromatin-associated replication intermediates at atomic or near-atomic resolution
