Amar Parvate
Chemist
Dr. Amar Parvate is a chemist with the Structural Biology team. He specializes in cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM). His training includes biochemistry, cryo-EM, and tomography to perform structural analyses of viruses and antigen-antibody complexes. His current research involves using single-particle cryo-EM to solve structures of macromolecular assemblies of proteins of interest.
