I am interested on determining the substrate and function of membrane protein transporters that facilitate transport of lipid and soluble metabolites. Although these transporters represent ~25% of the genome but they represent half of existing drug targets, they are challenging to study and there is no one-size fit all approach and require intensive biophysical and biochemical investigations to determine its transported molecule and biology. I have been creating specialized assays for them using my knowledge in biophysics, biochemistry, cellular and structural biology.
