Lab WebsiteLocationsUniversity of Rochester Medical CenterSchool of Medicine and Dentistry601 Elmwood Ave, Box 712Rochester, NY 14642Faculty AppointmentsAssociate Professor - Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics (SMD) BiographyResearchMy research interests revolve around the use of computer modeling to understand the structure and thermodynamics of biological molecules. In particular, I am most interested in understanding the biology and physics of lipid-protein interactions. These interactions underlie a fantastic array of biological processes, including cell-signaling by GPCRs and some immune reactions, specifically the action of antimicrobial peptides.PublicationsJournal Articles5/3/2022Onukwufor JO, Farooqi MA, Vodi?ková A, Koren SA, Baldzizhar A, Berry BJ, Beutner G, Porter GA, Belousov V, Grossfield A, Wojtovich AP.
