Tina Perica
I am interested in studying the genotype-to-phenotype relationships by using the knowledge of protein structure and biophysics. I aim to do that by testing the quantitative effects of designed perturbations on the genetic interactions. Sir Henry Wellcome Postdoctoral Fellow Education

Anum Azam Glasgow
I am interested in self-assembling systems and protein complexes. I am working on developing methods to design and experimentally test chemically inducible dimerization systems to produce versatile protein biosensors and improve our understanding of protein-ligand interfaces.

Cody Krivacic
I am interested in understanding how best to apply our computational tools to protein engineering challenges. I am currently working on a computational method that re-positions amino acids of interest by manipulating the protein backbone and testing my designs experimentally. The ability to precisely define side-chain positions in protein binding sites will enable the engineering of proteins with altered specificity. Education

James Lucas
I am interested in utilizing molecular biology techniques to investigate protein structure-function relationships as well as developing Rosetta to engineer tools for synthetic biology. I am currently developing a general protocol for designing analyte-induced dimerization domains coupled with split-protein reporters as reliable in vivo biosensors. NSF Graduate Fellow Education

Chris Mathy
My interests generally center around the ability of organisms to finely control system-wide behavior by tuning of protein structures and interfaces. My current work uses computational kinetic models to examine the effect of mutations on a conserved protein switch. Education

XingJie Pan
I am interested in understanding and designing biological systems in a bottom-up approach, since a physical system is not truly understood until we can calculate its behavior from physics laws. Currently I am working on developing algorithms for reshaping protein functional sites. Education

Samuel Thompson
Protein function is often described in terms of a static structure and a small number of functionally important residues, but the less than realistic representation of proteins as single states could be undermining our ability to model function. By modeling functional proteins as multi-constraint ensembles in Rosetta, I am probing the connections between functional sequence space and the balance between the energies of multiple functional states.

Muziyue Wu
I’m interested in how to use computational tools to solve protein engineering problems. Currently I am applying a method where we remodel the backbone to position key sidechains to reshaping a small part of a protein in order to achieve specific functions and also testing the designs experimentally.
