Ignacia Echeverria, PhD

Assistant Professor, [email protected]
Department of Bioengineering and Therapeutic Sciences

 

My research is focused on building integrative, computational, and theoretical models to describe the structure and dynamics of proteins, nucleic acids, and carbohydrates to understand their function and evolution. My scientific background is in molecular biophysics, computational modeling, and statistical physics. My research experience is in computational structural biology, biophysics, and integrative structure determination of macromolecular assemblies. I have developed methods for integrative structure determination, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, free energy calculations, and coarse-graining.

Sree Ganesh Balasubramani, PhD

Postdoctoral Scholar, [email protected]

 

Sree obtained his PhD at UC Irvine and was a postdoc at the University of Arizona in Steven Schwartz's group. At UCSF his research focused on building Bayesian Hierarchical Models of compositionally and conformationally heterogeneous protein complexes.

 

 

Atreya Day

Postdoctoral Scholar, [email protected]

 

Atreya obtained his PhD from the University of Texas at Austin working in the Thirumalai group, where he used statistical physics-based modeling and molecular dynamics to study molecular motor condensin. At UCSF his research focuses on interpreting deep mutational scanning data from a structural view point. 

 

 

Surabhi Rathore

Postdoctoral Scholar, [email protected]

Surabhi obtained graduated from CSIR-Institute of Genomics and Integrative Biology, where she studied molecular switches regulating a highly conserved supra-molecular receptor protein Notch. In the group, her research focuses on understanding the molecular determinants of the HIV-1 capsid interaction with human TRIM5a.

 

 

Kenneth Huang, PhD

Postdoctoral Scholar, [email protected]

Kenneth holds a PhD Chemistry from Georgia State University. His research focuses on generating multi-state models of SARS-CoV-2 proteins to aid with antiviral development. He uses a combination of molecular modeling, molecular dynamic simulations, and virtual screening.
