My research is focused on mechanistic aspects of the systems biology of metal ions. I am studying several pathways responsible for metal homeostasis and transport and processes for protein import and maturation, particularly in mitochondria. I am contributing to the development of in-cell NMR and exploiting it for characterizing conformational and functional states of proteins and their maturation, at atomic resolution directly in living cells.
