Lab Members

I earned my Diploma in chemistry at the University of Athens, Greece, then trained in synthetic inorganic chemistry and protein crystallography with Professors Dimitri Coucouvanis, Martha Ludwig and Janet Smith at the University of Michigan. I began my independent career at the Uniformed University of the Health Sciences before moving back to the University of Michigan in 2018.

My project uses x-ray crystallography to better understand the metalloenzyme Methionine Synthase.

I am using a combination of structure and kinetic studies to better understand the substrate specificity of pseudouridine synthase enzymes.

​

I work on understanding the mechanism and substrate recognition of the RNA maturation enzyme PRORP through kinetics assays. I completed my PhD at the University of Michigan under the mentorship of Dr. Carol Fierke, and my BS in Chemistry at Grand Valley State University.

I got my BA in chemistry from Macalester College. I'm currently working to understand the cobalamin riboswitch structure and function through x-ray crystallography and assays. For fun, I like to run the trails in Ann Arbor, read books, and explore restaurants in the area with friends.

My project is focused on using Cryo-EM to understand the conformational changes in Methionine Synthase.

I aim to use kinetic techniques to better understand the mitochondrial RNase P complex.
