My research interest orbits around the field of protein biochemistry and is focused on two main areas. The first is on understanding the structure-mechanism relationship of membrane proteins, in particular those that function in membrane transport processes in the malaria parasite and in multidrug efflux in pathogenic bacteria. My second area of interest is in exploiting knowledge of fundamental protein biochemistry for novel applications in elite sports.
Enquiries from interested graduate students with at least a 2.1. Honours degree in a relevant area of life science are always welcome.
