She trained as a crystallographer with Drs. Catherine Drennan (MIT) and Tina Iverson (Vanderbilt University). Her graduate and postdoctoral work centered on the iron sulfur cluster-containing AdoMet Radical enzymes and the Class D flavin monooxygenases, respectively, with emphasis on obtaining structural insights into catalysis. At CSUN, Dr. Vey has established a protein crystallography-based group that focuses on enzyme structural and functional characterization. The lab is currently studying several Class D flavin monooxygenases as well as enoyl-ACP reductase with the help of several respected collaborators.
