Lab Members - Shirley Lomeli

Shirley Lomeli joined our lab in the summer of 2004. Her research interest is characterizing the structure and function of vaults, the largest known ribonucleoprotein structures in eukaryotes. She is currently developing methods to detect protein-protein interactions using various chemical crosslinking techniques analyzed by nano ESI GEMMA, 1D gel electrophoresis, MALDI-TOF MS, LC/MS-MS, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM).
