SUMMARY:Seminar with Irina Kufareva\, PhD (UC San Diego)
DESCRIPTION:In person only | Hosted by Dr.Yinglong Miao \nResearch Summary: The Kufareva lab studies structural\, molecular\, and architectural principles of cell responses to stimuli and drugs via computational approaches. Our work is mostly focused on G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). We use conventional and AI-powered molecular modeling to unlock the therapeutic potential of orphan and understudied GPCRs. \n  \n \n  \nABOUT THE SPEAKER:  \nIrina Kufareva\, PhD\, Professor \nSkaggs School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences \nUC San Diego \nEducation: S.c. laude M.S. in Mathematics and Computer Science (1994) from Tomsk State University\, Russia; Ph.D. in Computer Science (2000) from Tomsk State University\, Russia \nPostdoctoral training: Computational Structural Biology (2004-2009)\, The Scripps Research Institute\, La Jolla\, CA \nSelected Professional Experiences: Editorial Board member\, npj Drug Discovery (2024-present)\, NIH DMPB study section standing member and alternate chair (2023-2025); NIH DDNS study section\, standing member (2022); NIH BPNS study section\, standing member (2021); co-organizer\, community-wide GPCR Dock assessments (2010\, 2013\, 2021); ad hoc reviewer for NSF CLP PSD panel (2019) and NIH NCF study section (2017). \nSelected Honors \n\nRecipient of the UC San Diego VCHS Excellence Award in Mentorship\, Service and Research\nInvited presentations at the CHI Discovery On Target Conference\, Boston\, MA (2022)\, Gordon Research Conference on Mol.
