What we study
Recent student projects in this lab have studied immune signaling computationally, using molecular docking and evolutionary analysis to model how the immune regulator SOCS1 binds the enzyme JAK2, which controls inflammation.

Current projects
Project Unraveling Immune Modulatory Protein Interactions Through Molecular Docking and Computational Evolutionary Analysis
The project looks at how the immune protein SOCS1 binds to the enzyme JAK2, which controls inflammation. Students will use computer models and docking simulations to compare how the SOCS1 monomer and dimer bind JAK2 and identify key residues that affect binding.
