Zheng Laboratory

Welcome to the Zheng laboratory in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Genetics at the Univesrity of Colorado, Anschutz Medical Campus. We are interestested in the structure-function relationship of membrane proteins in general.

The biological functions of a cell are heavily influenced by its surrounding environment. This influence is achieved mostly through membrane proteins that mediate various informational exchange between the two bodies. Thus, it is vitally important to understand how these membrane proteins function, which is the overarching goal of our research. The main tools we use in the laboratory are cryo electron microscopy and X-ray crystallography.

We have a postdoctoral position available right now. If you are interested in joining, please send your CV by email.
