Research Interests:
Studies of mechanism and structure in transcription, using mechanistic enzymology and biophysical tools. With this understanding, and in collaboration with chemical engineering colleagues, we are developing novel flow chemistry approaches towards RNA synthesis/manufacturing. Applications include vaccine/therapeutic manufacturing, but also a new approach to generating RNA with site-specific modifications for fundamental studies of RNA biology.
