About the Speaker
Nagarajan Vaidehi, Ph.D., is professor and chair of the Department of Computational and Quantitative Medicine within Beckman Research Institute of City of Hope. Dr. Vaidehi also oversees the Computational Therapeutics Core.
Dr. Vaidehi received her Ph.D. in quantum chemistry from the Indian Institute of Technology in India, where she was honored with the Distinguished Alumni Award in 2016. Following her postdoctoral studies on protein dynamics simulation methods with Nobel Laureate Arieh Warshel, Ph.D., at University of Southern California, and William A Goddard III, Ph.D., at Caltech, she became the director of biomolecular simulations at the Materials and Process Simulation Center, Beckman Institute at Caltech.
Dr. Vaidehi joined City of Hope in 2006 as a professor and has since advanced the use of computational methods to meet the challenges of designing therapeutics. She is an internationally recognized biophysicist for her contributions in developing constrained molecular dynamics simulation methods with emphasis on application to G-protein coupled receptors and drug design.
