Ribosome and me, Cape Cod, Summer 2007. |
I was a graduate student in the TCBG. In 2008, I received my Ph.D. in Biophysics.
You can still reach me at villa@ks.uiu.edu
At present, I am a Marie Curie Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Wolfgang Baumeister at the Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry in Munich.
