Research Assistant Professor Research Interests Application of chemical encoding schemes to the problems of protein folding and structure based drug design and in generating virtual molecules and predicting structural properties through molecular mechanics and dynamics studies for drug discovery. |
| | qunzhaow@email.unc.edu
Research Assistant Professor Research Interests Technology that visualizes the behavior of a specific family of enzymes (protein kinases) in living cells. These enzymes have been implicated in a wide variety of disease states, including several forms of cancer. The ability to image the aberrant biochemistry of cells represents an important first step in detecting cancer at its earliest (and therefore most treatable) stage. | Adjunct Faculty | | Arnold Brossi Adjunct Professor | | | Edward Garvey, PhD epgarvey@mindspring.com
