Our recent work on understanding how protein misfolding occurs (http://www.cell.com/biophysj/abstract/S0006-3495(14)00722-X) has shed light on the nature of misfolding and potential subsequent aggregation (relevant for protein misfolding disease), demonstrating that misfolded…
Read moreWe’re excited to share some recent results from our lab that combine simulation and experimental structural biology. Â This has been a wonderful collaboration with my colleague Linda Columbus, a Chemistry…
Read moreRecently, for the first time, Stanford’s Chemistry Department did a look back at research highlights from the last (2013-2014) academic year done in the Department. Â Folding@home is prominently highlighted: https://chemistry.stanford.edu/events/chemistry-year-review

Read moreIn the past couple of years, Xuhui Huang’s group at HKUST (http://compbio.ust.hk/) has performed large-scale molecular dynamics simulations at Folding@Home (Project 2974-2975) to investigate the mis-folding of the hIAPP (human…
Read moreI’ve been an independent researcher at UC Berkeley for the past three years and have now accepted an Assistant Professorship at Washington University in St Louis. Â I’ll start the process…

Read moreIn the Stanford Big Data conference in 2014, I gave a talk which gives an update on our drug design efforts, summarizing a bit on how FAH works to design…
Read moreAs those familiar with Folding@home (FAH) know, we’ve developed FAH to help simulate protein folding so that we can better understand how proteins get misfolded and cause diseases like Alzheimer’s,…
