Now we can see all the details of life coming into sharp focus. This will transform medicine and the course of humanity
— Vera Moiseenkova-Bell, Ph.D.

At our cutting-edge structural biology lab, we harness the power of advanced cryo-electron microscopy to unravel the mysteries of the molecular world. Our focus is on dissecting the intricate behavior of membrane-bound proteins within their natural, cellular environments and probing their responses to a wide array of stimuli at the atomic level.

As part of Penn’s Institute of Structural Biology, we are at the forefront of addressing fundamental biological questions. Our research not only deepens our understanding of physiological processes but also paves the way for groundbreaking therapeutic innovations. Together with our peers, we are dedicated to pushing the boundaries of science and transforming our grasp of biology into tangible, real-world applications.
