Dr. Mobeen Raja’s is interested in structure-function studies of membrane protein transporters (glucose transporters), potassium ion channels and their roles in health and genetic diseases. He has been involved in understanding the mechanism of genetic mutations, protein-protein/drug/inhibitor/activator and protein-lipid interactions by utilizing molecular/cellular biology, membrane biology, mutagenesis, biochemistry, bioinformatics and proteomics approaches.
