The Molecular Biophysics and Computational Biology Group

The focus of this group is the application of tools from physics, mathematics, and computer science to chemically and biologically important problems. We use Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy and computer simulations extensively to study the structure and dynamics of proteins. In addition, we also use a range of bio-statistical and bio-informatics tools to analyze large-scale experimental data, such as multiplex immunoassay for protein biomarker detection and gene-expression dynamics. We collaborate extensively on many biomedically related projects across the campus and with many of the UC campuses. A current list of research projects may be found on Dr. Krishnan’s faculty page.
