Molecular Structural Mechanism and Evolution of the Rhoptry Secretion System in Apicomplexan Parasites
Yi-Wei Chang, PhD
Assistant Professor of Biochemistry and Biophysics
Associate Director, Institute of Structural Biology
University of Pennsylvania, Perelman School of Medicine
“The Chang lab in the University of Pennsylvania is deeply interested in understanding the basis of biology from a structural perspective. Distinct from many other structural biology groups working with purified macromolecules, the Chang lab utilizes cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET), a powerful cryo-electron microscopy imaging technique, to study the structure and mechanism of macromolecular machines directly inside cells.”
THIS SPEAKER WILL BE IN PERSON IN FXB 301.
The event will be hybrid and we will have lunch for those that are present.
