DESCRIPTION:The Academic Senate is pleased to announce the selection of And
 rej Sali\, PhD\, as recipient of the Sixty Sixth Annual Faculty Research L
 ectureship in Basic Science for his work on computational biology and inte
 grative structure modeling. The lecture\, titled “All You Need is Harmon
 y: Modeling for Biology” will take place on Tuesday\, April 16\, 2024\, 
 from 3:30 p.m. - 5:00 p.m. in Byers Auditorium at Mission Bay Campus.  \n\
 nDr. Sali is a computational/theoretical biologist of the highest impact\,
  with a career characterized by creativity\, scientific ambition\, broad a
 nd effective collaboration\, and extraordinary productivity. His early imp
 act came through the development and large-scale deployment of comparative
  modeling (also called homology modeling). Dr. Sali’s MODELLER program w
 as the first to enable protein modeling on the genome-wide scale. Building
  on this work\, he developed new approaches to predicting function and des
 igning inhibitors/drugs for proteins based on experimental structures and 
 computational models. Dr. Sali’s work on protein modeling allowed for a 
 deeper understanding of the underlying biology behind cell biology as well
  as understanding diseases. More recently\, and largely the basis for Dr. 
 Sali’s election to the National Academy of Sciences\, he has emerged as 
 the leader of integrative structure modeling.\n\nDr. Sali is among the mos
 t impactful UCSF scientists. One reason he has had such a large impact is 
 that he and his group have developed a series of widely used software pack
 ages (IMP\, the Integrative Modeling Platform) for modeling proteins\, mac
 romolecular assemblies\, and pathways\, all of which he has freely distrib
 uted to the scientific community\, including source code. This suite of sc
 ientific software has had an impact commensurate with the UCSF founders of
  computational structural biology\, Tack Kuntz\, Peter Kollman\, Bob Langr
 idge\, and Ken Dill. \n\nDr. Sali is Professor at the UCSF School of Pharm
 acy in the Department of Bioengineering and Therapeutic Sciences. In addit
 ion\, Dr. Sali provides leadership for the Protein Data Bank and contribut
 es to the UCSF PhD program in Bioinformatics and the Quantitative Bioscien
 ces Institute (QBI).
