Last week, Dr. Dyer visited the NIH in Bethesda, Maryland, at the invitation of Protein Conformation and Dynamics senior investigator Jennifer Lee. During the visit, Dyer gave a talk entitled “Membrane Protein Dynamics,” which was preceded by a poetic introduction that summarizes the research performed in our lab:
Brian studies protein conformations
Examining response to fold perturbations
Using laser pumps
To induce temperature jumps
He tracks changes in protein vibrations
