Principal Investigator: Dr. Glenn F. King | |
|
Glenn is a Professor in the Department of Molecular, Microbial & Structural Biology and Assistant Director of the UConn Partnership for Excellence in Structual Biology. Glenn is former President of the Australian Society for Biophysics and currently serves on the editorial boards of the Biochemical Journal, the Journal of Molecular Recognition, and Toxicon. |
Instructor: Dr. Susan L. Rowland | |
|
Susan is an Instructor in the Department of Molecular, Microbial & Structural Biology. Her primary focus is the structure and function of proteins involved in topological and temporal control of bacterial cytokinesis. Click

Instructor: Dr. Vitaliy Y. Gorbatyuk | |
|
Vitaliy is an Instructor in the Department of Molecular, Microbial & Structural Biology. His primary focus is the three-dimensional structure of proteins involved in topological control of bacterial cytokinesis. Vitaliy has also been examining phosphoinositide regulation of the cofilin-actin interaction. |
Graduate student: Lingling Chen | |
|
Lingling began her graduate studies at UCHC in Fall 2004. She is currently doing a rotation project examining the role of the membrane targeting sequence in pole-to-pole oscillation of the MinD protein in Escherichia coli. |
Graduate student: Francesco Maggio | |
|
Frank has been been investigating both the mode of action and structure-function relationships of a unique group of insecticidal neurotoxins known as the Janus-faced atracotoxins. His work has substantially enhanced the utility of these toxins as leads for biopesticides and novel chemical insecticides. Frank is the lab expert on briscola (an Italian card game) and cannoli. |
Graduate student: Scott Robson | |
|
Scott has been investigating the three-dimensonal structure and interactions of key cell division proteins that form part of the cytokinetic apparatus (the "septasome") in Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis; keep an eye out for his latest 3D structure. Scott is the lab computer expert and photographer. Click here to check out some of his black and white photos. |
Graduate student: Brianna Sollod | |
|
Brianna has been investigating the genetic architecture, posttranslational processing, and evolution of superfamilies of spider toxin genes. She is also examining the mode of action and structure-function relationships of a novel group of insecticidal peptide neurotoxins. Brie is a keen swimmer and former triathlete; she will visit Hawai'i this Fall to support her mom in the Hawai'i ironman triathlon. |
Graduate student: Anu Swaminathan | |
|
Anu began her graduate studies at UCHC in Fall 2004. She is investigating the genetic architecture, posttranslational processing, evolution, mode of action, and structure-function relationships of a new family of insecticidal neurotoxins. Anu is also interested in the development of viral insecticides. She hails from Madras, so her Indian curries are spectacular! |
Graduate student: Hugo (Billy) Tedford | |
|
Billy has been been investigating both the mode of action and structure-function relationships of a unique group of insect calcium channel blockers known as the omega-atracotoxins. His work has substantially enhanced the utility of these toxins as leads for biopesticides and novel chemical insecticides. A native of Louisiana, Billy cooks the best jambalaya north of New Orleans. |
