Biography

Maria Selmer is a structural biologist investigating the structural mechanisms of bacterial ribosome biogenesis, function, and inhibition. Her recent work has provided insights into the structural mechanisms underlying antibiotic resistance and the inhibition of protein synthesis. Her research focuses on the evolution of protein structure and function. The Selmer lab employs integrated structural biology approaches, especially in the realms of protein synthesis and coupled antibiotic resistance, utilizing X-ray crystallography and single-particle cryo-electron microscopy, complemented by a variety of biochemical and biophysical methods.
