Investigating the structure and dynamics of biological systems and complex formulations in the solid-state using NMR spectroscopy

Tatyana Polenova is a Professor of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of Delaware and leads a team of scientists at the Polenova Laboratory. Her research focuses on investigating the structure and dynamics of biological systems and complex formulations in the solid-state using NMR spectroscopy, combined with computational, and biochemical methods. Alongside her team at the Polenova Laboratory, she is currently studying HIV-1 capsid and SARS-CoV-2 protein assemblies, microtubule- and actin- associated protein assemblies, and vanadium-containing halo peroxidases, with the aim of better understanding disease mechanisms and assisting with drug discovery and development, as well as biotechnology applications.
