Bronwyn trained in Molecular Biology studying the regulation of mRNA localization and turnover by RNA-binding proteins. As a postdoc she contributed to the development and testing of 2D Template Matching, a new approach to visualize and characterize macromolecular structure directly in the cell using cryo-EM. Now, in her own lab, she is combining these two areas to develop new tools to visalize RNA-protein complex assembly directly in cells. Bronwyn has expertise in RNA biochemistry, bioinformatics, cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM), focused ion beam (FIB)-milling and image processing.
