Emily A. Hammad Mrig, PhD, is using natural language processing (NLP) to identify patients and solutions that make molecular diagnostics more affordable and equitable.
The recognition of Krogan, Shoichet, Manglik, and Giacomini underscores the school’s commitment to fostering groundbreaking research that addresses critical issues in health care and pharmaceutical sciences.
I’m a project coordinator supporting the Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics (CPT) Postdoctoral Training Program and UCSF Health Innovation via Engineering (HIVE). I work directly with Leslie Floren and Chris Hernandez to manage their finances, operations, organize gatherings/schedules, and provide overall support to their respective programs.
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 environments and understand their full range of structural dynamics. We are particularly interested in applying these methods to understand host-pathogen interactions using proteomics and genetics data.
