Biography and Research Information
OverviewAI-generated summary
Leah Darwin's research spans computational molecular biology and evolutionary dynamics, with a particular interest in prion diseases and protein misfolding. While a graduate student at Brown University's Center for Computational Molecular Biology, Darwin has worked on computational drug discovery methods, protein structure, and mathematical models of epidemiology and ecology. Her work also extends to neurobiology and insect physiology. Recent research has investigated the transcriptional response to rapamycin in Drosophila, exploring the interplay of sex, tissue, and mitochondrial interactions. Other work includes the dynamics of prion proliferation under combined treatments and automated adaptation of chemical structure for drug discovery. Her research explores diverse topics, from mother's curse to lightning talks.
