Under the supervision of Dr. Indra Sahu, assistant professor of physics, Sheyer used this scholarship to help work in a group with several other CU students to conduct and present research on the transmembrane protein KCNE3.
"Matthew has shown a keen interest in studying the structural biology of membrane proteins," Sahu said. "His excellent research skill and his outstanding research proposal made him qualify for this scholarship."

"Matthew utilized molecular biology and electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopic approaches to conduct outstanding research work on studying the structural dynamics of KCNE3 in different membrane environments, which is very important to understand the function of the KCNE3 protein," Sahu said.
