Principal Investigator
Assaf studies membrane proteins, focusing on structural biology and pharmacology, particularly protein receptors that sense sex hormones and sterols. His work combines cryo-EM, biochemistry, and cell biology to reveal the molecular mechanisms underlying sterol synthesis, recognition, and signaling.
Postdoctoral Associate
Zifang earned his Ph.D. in Biochemistry specializing in drug screening and DNA topoisomerases. He is currently studying the sigma-2 receptor's partner proteins and the effects of different ligands on the receptor's conformation and function.
