Zhijun Li
Assistant Professor of Bioinformatics
My current research efforts focus on utilizing computational and bioinformatics methods to generate and analyze three-dimensional structures of protein molecules, and to gain insight into protein sequence, structure and function relationships. Leveraging and combining a broad range of techniques enables us to tackle biological problems in multiple dimensions. Network analysis of protein structures First project is the development of new tools to aid in the quantitative analysis of the protein 3D structures currently available in...

James Pierce
Director, Bioinformatics Undergraduate Program
Associate Professor of Biology

Randy J. Zauhar
Director, Graduate Program in Bioinformatics
Associate Professor of Chemistry and Biochemistry
Associate Professor of Bioinformatics

Shape signatures is a novel technique for computer-aided drug design developed over the last few years by USP associate professor of biochemistry Randy Zauhar and collaborators. It is a system for compactly representing the shape of drug molecules and the protein receptor sites they target. It was recognized by Emil Fischer in the nineteenth century that the molecules central to the processes of life must recognize each other by a mechanism similar to a key fitting...
