MD Simulation Studies of FGFR family RTKs


Background


I completed a BSc (2009) and a MSc (2011) in Biochemistry at Ruhr-University Bochum (Germany), University College London (UK) and the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Physiology (Germany).

My PhD training was in Structural Biology from University of Oxford (Lady Margaret Hall), supervised by Prof Mark S.P. Sansom and Prof E. Yvonne Jones, funded by the Henry Wellcome Trust Structural Biology DPhil Programme. My research was focused on the computational and structural analysis of Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor signalling complex formation.


Research


The current focus of my postdoctoral research is on the formation of different signalling complex architectures in receptor clustering by analysis of dimerisation processes of full-length FGF receptor in live cells upon ligand activation.
