Recruiting:

The Di Trani group is currently recruiting.
Those interested in Undergraduate, Graduate, or Postdoctoral research opportunities, please send a CV and transcript to: ditrani@ualberta.ca.

 

Research:

The Di Trani group is a recent addition to the Biochemistry department. In this group, we use cryogenic electron microscopy, kinetic analysis, and various biochemical techniques to study protein structure and function. Our primary focus is on electron transport chain complexes and other macromolecules involved in bioenergetic processes.
