Scholarship and Biography

The Hedstrom laboratory operates at the interface between chemistry and biology. Current projects address problems in antibiotic development, targeted protein degradation, GTP biosynthesis and mechanistic enzymology. This work involves a wide array of experimental techniques, including enzyme kinetics, site-directed mutagenesis, organic synthesis, protein biochemistry, crystallography, electron microscopy and various spectroscopic methods.
