Situation professionnelle
Résumé
I have focused my career on the investigation of proteins because of their importance as pharmaceutical targets.
Throughout my experiences in France, Germany, Israel, and Italy, I have developed expertise to produce soluble and membrane proteins, and characterize their interactions with small molecules, peptides and lipids, as well as protein-protein interactions.
