Research interests
Jill Trewhella is a biophysicist who uses physical methods to study bio-molecular structures as a basis for understanding their function. A major focus of her work is on the structural biology of how bio-molecules interact and communicate in order to carry out functions that involve multiple molecular actors working in concert. This work requires a multidisciplinary approach using molecular biology, biochemistry, and biophysical tools. One frequently used biophysical tool is the small-angle scattering of x-rays and neutrons in order to probe the solution conformations of proteins and the complexes they form in a wide variety of conditions and states of activity.
