Coarse-grained and atomistic molecular dynamics simulations of signaling somplexes


Background

I obtained my BSc, MSc and PhD degrees in Medicinal Chemistry from Aarhus University, Aarhus, Denmark. My PhD research was mainly focused on homology modelling, induced fit docking and molecular dynamics simulations of human monoamine transporters.
Additionally, effects of post-translational modfications, pH and pathogenic mutations on two amyloid proteins (Prion and FAS1-4 domain of TGFBIp) were explored by molecuar dynamics simulations.


Research

My current research is focused on the properties of gp130 cytokine receptor complexes by coarse-grained and atomistic molecular dynamics simulations.
The work is supported by the Alfred Benzon Foundation
