Elizabeth Yuriev

Biography

Dr Yuriev is a Senior Lecturer in Medicinal Chemistry at the Monash Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences. Her original contributions to the field of molecular modelling include the development of (i) carbohydrate docking methodologies; (ii) novel site mapping approach for the investigation of ligand recognition; and (iii) docking and MD protocols for homology modelling of GPCRs and GPCR complexes. Elizabeth’s research outcomes include 90 research papers in peer-reviewed journals (38 in the last 5 years) and 5 book chapters. She has communicated 117 conference presentations. Drs Yuriev and Ramsland have co-edited the book “Structural Glycobiology”, Taylor & Francis Group/CRC press, London, 2012 (ISBN:9781439854600). Drs Yuriev and Agostino have co-edited the e-book "Structural and computational glycobiology – immunity and infection", Frontiers Media, 2015 (ISBN 9782889196388). In the last 5 years, Dr Yuriev has developed a significant interest in educational scholarship. Her work focuses  on innovations to improve learning and teaching of employability skills, with an emphasis on skill development in problem solving, collaboration, and study skills. Her achievements in education innovation have been recognised with numerous awards in the last 10 years: from her students, Faculty and Vice-Chancellor awards, and national Citation for Outstanding Contribution to Student Learning (The Australian Learning and Teaching Council, 2008). She was awarded a Monash Teacher Accelerator award in 2016 and is influencing the quality of pharmacy and science education through her scholarly research, mentoring, presentations, and publications. Elizabeth has published her findings in Journal of Chemical Education, Chemistry Education Research and Practice, Higher Education Research & Development, and other journals.
