I am a postdoctoral researcher in the
James
U. Bowie lab, which is located in the
DOE-Molecular Biology Institute at
UCLA.
Structural Bioinformatics
Now that a draft of the human genome has been completed,
attention will increasingly fall on proteomics: the elucidation
of the 3-D structure, function and interactions of all protein
molecules. Structural Bioinformatics is the
application of computational and statistical methods to the enormous
(and exponentially growing) data about protein structures, in order to
gain a complete understanding of the evolution, molecular
interactions, and biological function of proteins, and most
importantly, to illuminate the crucial relationships between these
different attributes of the proteome.
My research focuses on the creation and
implementation of large-scale statistical/mathematical techniques to
first identify, and then exploit, general principles that relate the
functions and molecular interactions of all proteins to their
3-D atomic structure.
