The Wankowicz lab<\/a><\/strong> is a primary contributor to the $5 million, three-year project led by the Astera Institute<\/a>. The project uses diffuse scattering, an overlooked signal measured by X-ray crystallography, to determine how protein dynamics are characterized, leading to a new paradigm in dynamic structural biology.<\/p>\n
