Gonen Lab, led by Tamir Gonen at the University of California, Los Angeles, specializes in structural biology techniques including electron cryo-microscopy, X-ray crystallography, and molecular dynamics simulations. The lab focuses on understanding the function of membrane proteins, particularly those involved in nutrient and ion transport across t... he blood-brain barrier. They are also engaged in method development for cryo-EM and have made significant advancements in electron diffraction techniques. Their research aims to elucidate how membrane channels and transporters contribute to cellular homeostasis and address dysfunctions related to diseases.Read More
