Our Group uses cryo-electron microscopy (cryoEM) to determine the 3D structure of large macromolecular complexes of relevance in cancer at high resolution. Structural information, in combination with molecular and cell biology and biochemistry, is then used to propose how these molecules work and increase our understanding of the molecular basis of cancer. Most of our efforts are currently focused on 2 major areas of research: the study of i) chaperones essential for the activation of several macromolecular complexes relevant in cancer and ii) complexes implicated in the repair of DNA damage and in genomic instability. In collaboration with other groups, we are also studying the structure and mechanisms of several amino acid transporters.
