Welcome to the Vallese Lab

Exploring protein communities through single-particle Cryo-EM.

Our Mission

In the Vallese lab, we explore native protein assemblies not only to reveal their structure but also to understand their function in their physiological environment, using advanced biochemical and biophysical techniques, with an emphasis on Cryo-EM. Being part of the CUNY Advanced Science Research Center (ASRC) and located near the New York Structural Biology Center (NYSBC) places our lab at the heart of New York City's structural biology scene.

  • Collaboration and Innovation

    We are committed to collaborating with other researchers to broaden our perspectives and share diverse expertise. By integrating a broad range of scientific disciplines, we aim to advance biochemical research and work toward the future of innovative science.

  • Training and Mentorship

    The Vallese Lab is dedicated to training graduate and undergraduate students to become independent researchers. We encourage them to dream big and follow their passion for biochemistry and structural biology. Our lab offers a supportive environment where students can build their skills, gain practical experience, and participate in innovative research.

  • Diversity and Inclusion

    Our lab embraces diverse cultures and promotes an environment of exchange and inclusion. We strongly believe that varied perspectives strengthen our research and foster a more enriching community, both scientifically and personally.
