Join us for MLS Seminar featuring Dr. Banu Ozkan, Professor of Physics at Arizona State University! The title of her talk is Dynamic allostery: Evolution's double-edged sword in protein function and disease.
Dr. Ozkan's research focuses on theoretical models and computer simulations in biological systems. Her background is in a broad range of methods, including lattice models, elastic network methods, dynamics, and all-atom physics-based computer simulations.
Dr. Ozkan has several research interests:
- Understanding sequence-structure-function relationships in proteins
- Exploring how dynamics govern protein mechanisms
- Investigating how proteins assemble into macromolecular machines
- Studying the dynamics of protein machines
- Predicting protein-protein interactions and interfaces, considering chain flexibility
