Welcome to the Chen Research Group!
We use computer modeling as a primary tool to understand how
biomolecules perform their biological functions, via stable
3D structures, or, equally important, lack of stable structures.
Current focus areas:
- Implicit solvent and intrinsically disordered proteins
- Coarse-grained models and coupled peptide folding, assembly
and membrane insertion
- Modeling and design of novel channel-forming peptides
Open Positions:
**postdoctoral position
openning(s)**
We constantly look for bright undergraduate and graduate
students. Students generally receive training and pursue research in
computational biochemistry and biophysics, but will also have
opportunities to work in our experimental collaborators'
labs. General background and interest in biochemistry, biophysics,
mathematics and/or computer programming is necessary. We will
consider strong candidates for postdoctoral research
associate positions.
