Subsequently, he expanded his interest to the chemistry of metals in biological systems and obtained a Ph.D in Bioinorganic chemistry (with Prof. Milan Vasak) from the University of Zurich, Switzerland. He continued his research investigating the chemistry and structural biology of metal transmembrane transporters at the California Institute of Technology (with Prof. Douglas C. Rees) and Aarhus University (with Prof. Poul Nissen). He joined the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at The University of Texas at Dallas as Assistant Professor in 2015, where he is now an Associate Professor of Chemistry and Biochemistry. |
