On Friday, November 17, Tim Marshall successfully defended his Ph.D Thesis “Comprehensive Markov State Models for Assessing and Improving the Accuracy of Protein Folding Simulations”.
Tim’s work has focused on using MSMs as a platform for evaluating force fields and for examining the ability of molecular simulations to quantitatively predict how mutations affect folding stability, toward the prospect of simulation-based virtual screening for protein design. Tim is still preparing several manuscripts describing this work, so stay tuned for preprints.
Congratulations Tim!
