Samantha Powell earned her PhD from the University of Oklahoma in the lab of Dr. George Richter-Addo, using X-ray crystallography to study heme proteins and Clostridium difficile nitroreductases and their interactions with small molecules. From 2019-2020, she was a National Research Council...
Ethan is an applied mathematician with experience in control, optimization, modeling, and machine learning. He is interested in leveraging the tools and successes of data science to push the boundaries of complexity and scale possible within scientific computing. Within modeling, his interests are...
In general, I am interested in studying complex systems by integrating both mechanism-based and data-driven approaches, in order to understand their dynamics, evolution, control, and design. The ultimate goal is to understand (some of) the design principles of complex systems, whether it is physical...
Jeremy Zucker is a computational scientist in the department of computational biology at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. He is a principal investigator for a variety of sponsors, including DARPA, DOE, and internally funded LDRDs. He uses machine learning-powered causal models — abstract and...
Margaret S. Cheung is a biological physicist and a computational scientist on the Computing, Analytics, and Modeling team at EMSL. She graduated from the National Taiwan University in 1994 and went on to obtain a Ph.D. degree from the University of California at San Diego in 2003. She was then...
The research goal of this project is to use stimuli-specific, synthetic nanobodies to target functional mediators without prior knowledge of the response networks or manipulating the biological system.
The science objective of this project is to apply structural proteomics technologies to map the molecular interactome.
The research objective of this project is to develop an integrative and automated multi-PTM profiling capability with deep proteome coverage.
Nick Reichart earned his PhD in biochemistry from Montana State University where he developed a workflow for bioorthogonal non-canonical amino acid tagging to determine the activity of uncultured microbes in the hot springs of Yellowstone National Park. Afterward, he started as a postdoctoral...
John is an accomplished lipid biochemist and structural biologist with an interest in understanding molecular pathology of disease. He earned his Ph.D. from Wake Forest School of Medicine where he received training in lipid biochemistry under the late Dr. Lawrence Rudel studying the role of low...
Dr. Tong Zhang is a scientist in the Biological Sciences Division at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL). His research focuses on using mass spectrometry-based proteomics to understand fundamental biology and improve human health. His current projects include developing redox proteomics...
Amy Sims, PhD is a Biomedical Scientist in the Chemical and Biological Signatures Division of the National Security Directorate at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) in Richland, WA. She earned her Ph.D. from Vanderbilt University Medical Center and worked with Ralph Baric, PhD at the...
The Human Islet Research Network (HIRN) is a large consortia with many research projects focused on understanding how beta cells are lost in type 1 diabetics (T1D) with a goal of finding how to protect against or replace the loss of functional beta cells. The consortia has multiple branches of...
Dr. Bramer is the team lead for Data Science and Biostatistics in the Computational Biology Group at PNNL. Her current research is focused on applying and developing statistical and machine learning methods for biological data, particularly mass spectrometry omics data, and developing software tools...
The Predictive Phenomics Science & Technology Initiative (PPI) at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory are tackling the grand challenge of understanding and predicting phenotype by identifying the molecular basis of function and enable function-driven design and control of biological systems...
