Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolGina Nesr is a PhD candidate in Biophysics at Stanford developing deep learning methods with experimental validation to design de novo enzymes and probe allosteric mechanisms. With nine years of cross-disciplinary experience spanning computer science, biophysics, and applied math, she combines computational modeling of protein dynamics with hands-on wet-lab and cryo-EM backgrounds. An NSF GRFP awardee and visiting researcher at UW–Madison, she also teaches and organizes community efforts like the MLSB Workshop at NeurIPS and guest edits special collections in PRX Life. Her work bridges method development and experimental validation, enabling new-to-nature enzymatic functions informed by dynamics rather than static structures.
