The Dr. Ethan A. Merritt Laboratory is where I did scientific research, scientific programming, and worked as a Linux System Administrator from October 2006 to October 2010.

Research topics

  • TLSMD (Translation, Libration, Screw Molecular Dynamics)
  • structure-based drug design
  • high-resolution protein crystallography

Peer-reviewed papers published

MSGPP

I was part of the Medical Structural Genomics of Pathogenic Protozoa Consortium (MSGPP). The pathogenic protozoa we studied included the following:

Trypanosoma

Trypanosoma cruzi 
Chagas' Disease (aka American Trypanosomiasis)
Trypanosoma brucei 
Sleeping Sickness (aka African Trypanosomiasis)
Leishmania spp. 
Leishmaniasis

Apicomplexa

Plasmodium falciparum 
Malaria
Plasmodium vivax 
Malaria
Toxoplasma gondii 
Toxoplasmosis

Others

Entamoeba histolytica 
Amoebiasis
Giardia lamblia 
Giardiasis
Cryptosporidium parvum 
Cryptosporidiosis
