«Lila is a rigorous biophysical chemist, but unlike most chemists who avoid complexity and prefer reductionist type studies, Lila's whole career has been focused on applying chemistry and biophysical methods to the study of peptides and their role in biology as well as protein folding and trafficking in vivo,» says Jeffrey W. Kelly at The Scripps Research Institute. (asbmb.org)
