  Adrien Chauvier, Ph.D. Postdoctoral Fellow Walter Lab Chemistry, LSA   Your research interests in less than 100 words I aim to understand how RNA modulates gene expression using riboswitches as a model system. Riboswitches are structural elements that regulate transcription or translation through structural conformational change triggered by the binding of a specific ligand….

  Robb Welty Post-doctoral fellow Chemistry Principal Investigator/Faculty: Nils Walter Google scholar What are your research interests? Academically speaking, my scientific interests lie at the intersection of chemistry, physics, and biology. I suppose that I just enjoy figuring out how systems work. It turns out that physics provides an awesome framework for figuring things out,…
