He obtained his bachelor’s (2000) and master’s (2005) in pharmaceutics from Shenyang Pharmaceutical University\, China. He completed his PhD in pharmacy at The University of Queensland\, Australia\, in 2010 and progressed directly to his faculty position (Lecturer in Pharmaceutics\, PI) at Aston University (UK). At the end of 2014\, he moved to the University of Macau. \nSince 2011\, he has pioneered the integration of multi-scale modeling\, artificial intelligence and big data techniques in the field of drug delivery – “computational pharmaceutics“. He has published 2 books\, 5 book chapters\, over 100 refereed SCI journal papers\, and over 100 invited talks. He held 11 approved patents\, which had been used in medicinal products. In this research area\, he edited the first book (John Wiley & Sons Inc.\, 2015). He serves as the associate editor of \, editorial board/scientific advisor of \, and . He established the first artificial intelligence (AI)-based formulation platform (FormulationAI). He successfully trained 6 PhD and 30 master’s students. \nHis research focused on computational pharmaceutics\, including: \n\nArtificial intelligence (AI) of pharmaceutical formulations: to build the database of pharmaceutical formulations and predict pharmaceutical formulations by machine learning approaches;\nMulti-scale modeling in drug delivery: to integrate quantum mechanics (QM)\, molecular dynamics (MD)\, and physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling into drug delivery systems;\nPharmacoinformatics: big data analysis of pharmaceutical information from the literature\, patent\, clinical trial\, and marketed products.

Flanagan Professor at the Wallace H. Coulter Department of Biomedical Engineering\, Georgia Tech & Emory University. \nTalk Title: “Computational methods for exploring the principles of multicellular organization of iPSCs” \nBio: Melissa L. Kemp received her B.S. in nuclear engineering\, minoring in biomedical engineering\, from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and her Ph.D. in Bioengineering from the University of Washington. Following postdoctoral work as a CSBi/Merck Fellow in Biological Engineering at MIT\, she joined the faculty of the Wallace H. Coulter Department of Biomedical Engineering at Georgia Institute of Technology and Emory University in 2006. As a Carol Ann & David D.

His lab is composed of a diverse set of engineers and scientists solving health problems by using and developing systems biology tools and technologies to describe and control spatial relationships between cells in tissues. \nJohn completed his postdoctoral training in Garry Nolan’s lab at Stanford University\, where he used and developed systems biology tools to analyze spatial relationships among cells in tissues. He obtained his PhD in Biomedical Engineering from Johns Hopkins University with Dr. Jonathan Schneck and Hai-Quan Mao\, where he developed magnetic nanoparticles for rare antigen-specific T cells and designed hydrogels for adoptive T cell therapy. John has been recognized by several organizations for his work including receiving: the American Cancer Society Postdoctoral Fellowship\, NCI Postdoctoral Fellowship\, ARCS Scholar\, Siebel Scholar\, and NSF Graduate Research Fellowship. \n  \n \n  URL:https://www.med.unc.edu/compmed/event/seminar-7/ LOCATION:Bioinformatics Building\, Room 1131\, 130 Mason Farm Rd\, Chapel Hill\, NC\, 27514\, United States ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.med.unc.edu/compmed/wp-content/uploads/sites/852/2024/07/1340244.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20241028T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20241028T180000 DTSTAMP:20260404T181339 CREATED:20240916T194603Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240916T194734Z UID:10000418-1730106000-1730138400@www.med.unc.edu SUMMARY:Free Workshop | the Gaussian Accelerated Molecular Dynamics (GaMD) DESCRIPTION:Gaussian Accelerated Molecular Dynamics (GaMD) Workshop \non Oct 28\, 2024\, at UNC-Chapel Hill \nWe are pleased to announce the Gaussian accelerated Molecular Dynamics (GaMD) workshop that will be held on Monday\, Oct 28\, 2024\, at the University of North Carolina (UNC)\, Chapel Hill. The workshop is supported by the UNC Department of Pharmacology and Computational Medicine Program. It is designed for all students and researchers in Computational Chemistry\, Biophysics\, and Biomedicine in the areas of Molecular Dynamics\, Enhanced Sampling\, and Drug Design. The covered topics will include the latest developments and advanced application studies of the GaMD methodology. \nThere is no registration fee for attending the workshop\, but participants are responsible for the travel and housing costs if attending in person. \nThe workshop will consist of several invited talks in the morning and “hands-on” tutorial sessions on different GaMD algorithms in the afternoon. Confirmed speakers include: \n\nProf. Surl-Hee (Shirley) Ahn\, University of California\, Davis\nProf. Ramon Alain Miranda Quintana\, University of Florida\nProf. Steffen Lindert\, Ohio State University\nProf. James Prestegard\, University of Georgia \nProf. Pengfei Li\, Loyola University Chicago \n\n“Hands-on” tutorial sessions will be given about step-by-step guided usage of the dual-boost GaMD\, Ligand GaMD (LiGaMD)\, Peptide GaMD (Pep-GaMD)\, and Protein-Protein Interaction – GaMD (PPI-GaMD)\, etc. \nDate: \nMonday\, October 28th\, 2024 \nTime: \nTalk/Study session: 9 am -12 pm at Bioinformatics 1131 \nWorkshop session: 1-6 pm at Mary Ellen Jones 3112 \n  \n \n  \n \n  \n  \n  URL:https://www.med.unc.edu/compmed/event/free-workshop-the-gaussian-accelerated-molecular-dynamics-gamd/ LOCATION:Bioinformatics Building\, Room 1131\, 130 Mason Farm Rd\, Chapel Hill\, NC\, 27514\, United States CATEGORIES:Seminar END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20241101T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20241101T110000 DTSTAMP:20260404T181339 CREATED:20240916T200309Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241022T160608Z UID:10000422-1730455200-1730458800@www.med.unc.edu SUMMARY:Research in Progress | Tracey Oellerich\, PhD (Leiderman Lab) DESCRIPTION:In-person meeting:\n\nMary Ellen Jones 3112 \n\nVirtual Meeting\n\nTopic: Research in Progress \nTime: Nov 1\, 2024\, 10:00 AM Eastern Time (US and Canada) \nJoin Zoom Meeting \nhttps://zoom.us/j/3800446913?pwd=KzVzZHZIbUR1RmxaUEJjMXpoenJkdz09&omn=96880439972 \nMeeting ID: 380 044 6913 | Passcode: RESEARCH \n  URL:https://www.med.unc.edu/compmed/event/research-in-progress-leiderman-lab/ LOCATION:Mary Ellen Jones 3112\, 116 Manning Drive\, Chapel Hill\, NC\, 27514 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20241108T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20241108T110000 DTSTAMP:20260404T181339 CREATED:20240916T200419Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241022T160126Z UID:10000423-1731060000-1731063600@www.med.unc.edu SUMMARY:Research in Progress | Brooke Felsheim (Perou Lab) DESCRIPTION:In-person meeting:\n\nMary Ellen Jones 3112 \n\n\nVirtual Meeting\n\nTopic: Research in Progress \nTime: Nov 8\, 2024\, 10:00 AM Eastern Time (US and Canada) \nJoin Zoom Meeting \nhttps://zoom.us/j/3800446913?pwd=KzVzZHZIbUR1RmxaUEJjMXpoenJkdz09&omn=91008249393 \nMeeting ID: 380 044 6913 \nPasscode: RESEARCH \n  URL:https://www.med.unc.edu/compmed/event/research-in-progress-brooke-felsheim-perou-lab/ LOCATION:NC END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
