Ignacia Echeverria Riesco, PhD

Assistant Professor

Our research investigates the structural diversity of protein assemblies by developing integrative modeling methods based on in vivo (in cells), in situ (in their cellular environment), and solution data. Our approach allows us to study difficult-to-isolate protein assemblies in their native...

Yessica Gomez, PhD

Assistant Professor

As the first teaching faculty in the Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry, my primary responsibilities are teaching pharmacy students and directing the first-year Respiratory Theme integrated core course. I also serve as the department liaison to the PharmD program and promote better integration...

Willow Coyote-Maestas, PhD, MS

Assistant Professor

Aashish Manglik, MD, PhD

Associate Professor

I am a physician-scientist interested in understanding how the human body senses and responds to external stimuli. My research focuses on the largest group of drug targets in the human body, the G protein coupled receptors. We aim to understand the most basic principles of these receptors in order...

Michael Grabe, PhD

Professor

My lab uses computational methods to understand biological phenomena. We are primarily interested in ion transport across cellular membranes. We wish to understand the molecular workings of ion channels and transporters as well as how these proteins work together to regulate ion homeostasis in...

James Fraser, PhD

Department Chair and Professor

I coordinate the School’s broad research efforts, aiming to catalyze collaborations across labs, departments, the university, and outside institutions. Additionally, I aim to improve the evaluation of research in hiring and promotion and ensure that our research agenda aligns well with staff and...

William DeGrado, PhD

Professor

My research focuses on small molecule and protein design as an approach to understanding macromolecule structure and function.
