Dr. Johnson-Winters’ research group uses kinetics to study F420-dependent enzymes, focusing on proteins involved in diseases like tuberculosis and energy generation in cells. Her work has expanded understanding of these proteins and paved the way for potential treatments of metabolic disorders.

“Receiving this award from my peers at the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology is an incredible honor, and I am deeply grateful to all those who have supported me,” Johnson-Winters said. “This is a testament to the those who encouraged me, offered great mentorship and collaborated with me over the years.”
