Structural Insights into Amyloid Proteins from Ex-vivo and In-vitro Models of Neurodegenerative Diseases
George Fordjour
Biochemistry, Microbiology and Molecular Biology Graduate Student
Understanding the mechanism and regulation of gene expression
MD Rimon Parves
Graduate Student
Elucidating the allosteric mechanism of DNA opening and transcription initiation. Specifically, the interactions between DNA and RNA polymerase using molecular dynamics simulations.
Grace Young
Chemistry Graduate Student
The interplay between protein dynamics, function, and homeostasis to potentially identify dysfunctions in Rad51 regulation that leads to aberrant DNA damage tolerance and ultimately enhanced mutagenesis
