Hi, I'm Christopher Eric Ruth Harris, a biochemist with hands-on experience in X-ray macromolecular crystallography, protein structure and function determination, and binding studies using ruthenium-bound compounds. My work spans biochemistry, organic chemistry, microbiology, and bioinformatics, with a focus on collagen binding domains and calcium-dependent regulation. Outside the lab, I balance research with teaching and community service, mentoring students and sharing science through talks and posters.
