Anton Avramov headshot

Anton Avramov, Ph.D. Candidate

Research Interests: My main scientific interests are focused on Photosystem II of cyanobacteria regarding the mechanism of light-driven assembly of Mn4CaO5 cluster. Currently I’m studying the role of Mn2+ and Ca2+ binding ligands provided by D1 and CP43 proteins in the assembly process.

Neil Miller headshot

Neil Miller, Ph.D. Candidate

Research Interests: I am interested in the cyanobacterial CO2-concentrating mechanism; particularly the Complex I-like CO2 hydrating NDH-1 complexes and whether their ability to hydrate CO2 is coupled to both electron transport and proton pumping across the thylakoid membrane.
