Area(s) of Expertise

Peter used NMR and other biophysical and biochemical techniques in his doctoral work to study the function of the vinculin tail domain in cellular adhesion. He then did his postdoctoral work with Dr. Bob London and Dr. Geoffrey Mueller at NIEHS, where he studied allergen:lipid interactions. Peter has used NMR spectroscopy to study biomolecular systems since 2009. His areas of expertise include protein structure, protein dynamics, protein:ligand interactions, and metabolomics, including the use of Chenomx software.
