“I am using single-particle cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM), biochemistry, and other experimental and computational tools to dissect RNA structures and dynamics. Ultimately, I want to reveal generalizable principles that dictate the diverse and dynamic conformational landscape of functional RNAs.”
Steve was born and raised in Guatemala. He obtained his BS in chemical engineering from University of Washington and his PhD in chemical engineering from Stanford University. Steve’s PhD dissertation focused on single-molecule and high-throughput studies of RNA 3D folding thermodynamics. In his free time, Steve likes to play the guitar, write music, read, and travel. Steve is also working hard towards acquiring the essential set of ‘outdoorsy’ skills necessary to (socially) survive in Denver.
