Richard Philips Feynman About Me Download Jenny Gu's Curriculum Vitae. I am a graduate of the Biomedical Science PhD program with Drs. Philip Bourne and Michael Gribskov serving as my thesis advisors. My dissertation involved understanding the relationship between protein sequence and dynamics. This is a computational effort combining techniques from the fields of bioinformatics, artificial intelligence, and molecular modeling. I am fortunate to benefit from the expertise of Drs. Garrison Cortell, Andrew McCammon, Alexandra Newton, and Lynn Ten Eyck who are members of my thesis committee. Biomedical Science is a PhD granting graduate program offered by the School of Medicine at the University of California in San Diego. My affiliation with the San Diego Supercomputer Center is that I am part of the Integrative Bioscience efforts making use of the vast computational resources available at this national institution to gain new insights in biology. For more information about my research, please refer to the Research section.
