Experimental Guidance and Partnerships

I provide guidance across the complete protein crystallography pipeline, from construct design and protein purification through crystallization, diffraction data collection, processing and analysis. I work closely with research groups to ensure robust methodologies and effective optimization for both discovery-stage research and structure-based drug design programs.Advancing complex structural biology pipelines often requires both internal expertise and specialized external capabilities. I serve as a central resource for my clients, leveraging an extensive network across academia and industry to help organizations identify and establish productive relationships with preferred partners and service providers. I ensure that internal team dynamics and external partnerships are optimally aligned with scientific goals, allowing clients to expand capabilities and move projects forward with confidence.

Independent Structural Assessment

I provide independent structural assessments and due diligence support to biotechnology and pharmaceutical organizations, supporting internal decision-making where structural biology data informs experimental direction, publication, partnership, investment or broader business strategy. I also evaluate protein structures in preparation for Protein Data Bank deposition, journal submission or external review, including assessment of model quality, validation metrics, data processing decisions and structural interpretation.

Scientific Writing and Communication

I support manuscript development, figure preparation and peer review response. My experience as an author, reviewer and editor informs an approach grounded in clarity, logical organization and adherence to journal standards, ensuring that manuscripts are well positioned for successful peer review.
