Professional Experience

: Current; While working towards her Ph.D. at the Rockefeller University, Margareta solved the X-ray crystal structure of a complex of two proteins involved in the regulation of motility in bacteria. She also determined the major solution conformation of one of these proteins, using a combination of site-directed mutagenesis, protein chemistry and mass spectrometry. The results of these studies were published in Molecular Cell and PNAS. Margareta continued to study protein structure as a postdoctoral fellow. She studied Parkinson's disease proteins at Columbia University, and anti-cancer and antimicrobial proteins and peptides at Harvard Medical School. Margareta is the recipient of fellowship awards from the National Science Foundation and Women Science.
