Research Interests: Salina spent two years in LBNL, where she used synchrotron X-ray and EPR to study the structure of Mn4Ca complex in photosystem II with Prof. Kenneth Sauer and Dr. Vittal Yachandra. Her current research interests include utilizing smFRET and magnetic tweezers to study telomere G-quardruplex formation. She is also interested in how the telomere-associated proteins remodel telomere DNA structure.

Representing the Scott Lab, Michael leads a collaboration with the Stone lab to study the structure and function of the Hammerhead ribozyme using established biochemical and emerging single molecule techniques. The Hammerhead is a self-cleaving RNA enzyme composed of three helices intersecting in a conserved catalytic core, and is often called the 'serine protease' of RNA enzymes because it is well studied and serves as a prototype for understanding ribozyme catalysis.
