Lab Members

Dr. Thurber received his S.B. and Ph.D. degrees in physics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, then did postdoctoral research at the Army Research Laboratory and the Navy Research Laboratory before joining the Laboratory of Chemical Physics of NIDDK in 2005. His work includes experimental and theoretical aspects of dynamic nuclear polarization as well as micron-scale magnetic resonance imaging.

Dr. Yau received his B.S. in pharmacy from National Taiwan University, his M.S. in pharmaceutical sciences from the University of Nebraska Medical Center, and his Ph.D. in medicinal chemistry from West Virginia University. He did postdoctoral research in the Laboratory of Membrane Biochemistry and Biophysics of NIAAA before joining the Laboratory of Chemical Physics of NIDDK in 2002. His work includes synthesis of isotopically labeled peptides for solid state NMR studies, synthesis of novel oligoradical compounds for dynamic nuclear polarization, and protein expression.

Dr. Wilson received his Ph.D. in physics from the University of California at Santa Barbara. His current work involves the development of new rapid temperature-jump methods for initiating protein folding processes and the application of these methods in time-resolved studies of protein folding by solid-state NMR with dynamic nuclear polarization.

Dr. Zhao received his Ph.D. in chemistry from Michigan State University. His current work focuses on the development of nanoporous anodic aluminum oxide as a biomimetic material for studies of nuclear pores, and on studies by solid state NMR of the behavior of FG-repeat protein sequences that are attached to these pores.

Dr. Larimi received her Ph.D. in physics from Syracuse University. Her current work focuses on structural and dynamical studies of complexes formed by coronavirus nucleocapsid proteins with RNA, using a combination of cryo-EM and solid state NMR methods.
