status: Research Ass. Professor
course status: auditing
back. info: undergraduate in Industrial Chemistry with same background on
Chemical-Physics.
Graduate in Biology Uni. of Milan
Computing experience, not very much, but married with a math. from the
Courant Institute (I have some hope of help)!
Aims: My background is Molecular Biology but I'm currently heavily
involved in a project of a characterization of a growth factor FGF4, which
was isolated in the lab.of Dr. C. Basilico NYU few yers ago.
My goal is to analyze the structure of this GF, so far only by modeling
using the structure od others member of the same family of GFs (FGFs
family). Recently here at NYU we were able, not me personally, to produce
the cristal structure of a mutant of the FGF4 growth factor.
Now I would like to understand more about Mol. Modeling and that is why
I'm in your class.
