"I am currently working to biochemically and structurally characterize a class of viral, histidine accepting tRNA-like structures. These structures are functional mimics of host tRNAs and participate in the co-opting of host cell machinery for vial replication. I am using crystallography and cryo-EM to determine the structure of these RNAs alone and in complex with the host histidine synthetase and CCA-NTase, and the viral RdRp to better understand how these structures are recognized and acted upon."

As a #ColoradoNative, Conner enjoys many forms of outdoor activities, including, but not limited to, hiking, camping, skiing, snowshoeing, whitewater rafting, paddle boarding, and attempting to combine the aforementioned activities with food and his dogs.
