Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolIvy Zhang is a computational chemist and scientist with eight years of experience applying physics-based methods and AI/ML to predict and interpret biomolecular interactions. Trained in computational biology and informatics (PhD, Weill Cornell) and with undergraduate roots in computer science and biology, she developed open-source alchemical free energy tools (perses) and led thesis work on protein-protein binding affinity and sampling challenges. Her research has produced first-author and collaborative publications on antibody resistance and conformational sampling, and she has translated academic insights into industry impact through roles at Pfizer, Merck, and now Bristol Myers Squibb. Based in Cambridge, MA, she blends rigorous simulation, software development, and data-driven hypothesis generation—often surfacing mechanistic explanations that are not obvious from sequence-level analyses alone.
