Cody Aplin received his BA (2018) and MS (2020) in Chemistry from the University of Minnesota Duluth, where he used time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy to study biosensors designed to respond to environmental conditions such as ionic strength and macromolecular crowding. His research interests in the Cerione laboratory include the dynamics of protein complex formation in the visual phototransduction cascade, and developing new approaches for structurally characterizing membrane proteins in their native lipid environments.
