Biography

Paul Curmi is a structural biologist and molecular biophysicist whose laboratory focuses on the structure and function of proteins, which are macromolecules that serve as fundamental molecular machines in living systems. Understanding how these machines work requires a deep knowledge of the three-dimensional atomic structure of proteins. His research group aims to understand the molecular and cellular function of protein systems using key experimental techniques such as X-ray crystallography and a variety of biochemical, biophysical, and computational methods to enhance the understanding of these systems. The group utilizes modern molecular biology tools to prepare proteins of interest and is equipped to sequence protein structures in-house. Curmi's current research themes include metamorphic proteins, synthetic biology, quantum biology, and pattern formation in cells.
