Working Group leader: Marty Ytreberg
Group members: Craig Miller, Tanya Miura, Paul Rowley, Holly Wichman, Brenda Rubenstein, Jagdish Patel, JT Van Leuven, Ticak Tomislav, Angela Crabtree, LuAnn Scott, Kevin Hutchison, Yesol Sapozhnikov, Jonathan Barnes, Laura Steiner, Sierra Beach, Shunji Li, Peik Lund, Hersh Gupta, Erin Skeens, Gabriel Monteiro da Silva, Jordan Yang, Mohamed Megheib
Originated: October 2014, as the Molecular Modeling Working Group (MoMo)
Description:
We use modeling approaches (e.g., molecular, mathematical, statistical) to understand and predict how amino acid mutations modify the way that proteins fold and bind, and in turn, how these modify organism characteristics.
This working group has grown and changed considerably since its inception. Learn more about the research on the Genotypes to Phenotypes website.
