Biography
Pelin Ayaz, Ph.D., Postdoctoral Researcher, Chemistry, Biology, and Drug Discovery, D.E. Shaw Research Pelin Ayaz received her PhD degree in biophysics from UT Southwestern Medical Center; where she has worked on understanding the molecular mechanism of microtubule recognition and regulation by the microtubule polymerize Stu2p. She, then, moved to Bayer Pharma, Berlin, to work under the umbrella of the IMI-K4DD (Kinetics for drug discovery) consortium project to try to understand structural determinants of the CDK2-inhibitor binding kinetics. She currently is located in New York, at DE Shaw Research, where she conducts MD (molecular dynamics) simulations studies for structural modeling of large multi domain proteins.
