Biography & Research:
Dr. Junmei Wang is an associate professor at the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences, School of Pharmacy, University of Pittsburgh. He received his Ph.D. from Peking University in China and then went to UCSF as a postdoctoral fellow under the supervision of Professor Kollman, one of the pioneers in the field of molecular simulations of biosystems. Dr. Wang is a key member of the AMBER development team. He has made significant contributions in AMBER development, including being the leader and major developer of two AMBER force fields (Parm99 and GAFF) and the Antechamber module of the AMBER package.
Currently, Dr. Wang’s group focuses on force field and scoring function development, MD simulations of intrinsically disordered proteins, computer-aided drug design targeting amyloid oligomerization, computer-aided drug design for membrane protein targets, and pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics modeling and simulation.
