I am studying how the catalytic activity of the ribosome is modulated by the nascent peptide which is passing through the ribosomal exit tunnel. The fine tuning of the interactions between the nascent protein and specific elements of the ribosomes is an important way to regulate expression of various genes.

I use molecular biology, genetic, and biochemical techniques to study several aspects of the ribosome: how it makes proteins, how its catalytic activities are regulated, how it can regulate gene expression, and how it is one of the main targets for antibiotics.

The focus of my research is on the ribosome exit tunnel. I am trying to address two specific issues involving the tunnel: 1. Mechanism of macrolide action (macrolides are antibiotics that bind to ribosome tunnel). 2. Functional significance of post transcriptional modifications located in the tunnel.

I am interested in studying the ketolide resistance mechanisms in bacteria, which will facilitate the development of more potent antibiotics.
