Structure and Mechanism of Large Macromolecular Complexes

The Kelch lab is interested in determining how macromolecular machines work, with special emphasis on machines involved in DNA replication and repair.  Understanding how these machines work will not only illuminate the underpinnings of these critically important cellular pathways, but can also lead to new targets for the development of novel cancer therapeutics and antibiotics.
