Jani and his research group use state-of-the-art structural tools such as native mass spectrometry, cryo-electron microscopy and X-ray crystallography to elucidate the molecular mechanisms of large protein machineries involved in transport across biological membranes. Jani studied chemical sciences at Pondicherry University, India and moved to Iowa State University for his doctoral studies. He then worked in Prof. Dame Carol Robinson’s group at the University of Oxford as a postdoctoral research associate. He was awarded a Royal Society University Research Fellowship in 2021 to set up his own research group..
