Dilsah Nur Elmaci, M.Sc. (She/Her)

I am focused on unraveling the mechanisms that drive specific behaviors of biomolecular systems, aiming to shed light on the molecular foundations of their functions. I design and implement approaches for molecular modelling, simulation, and analysis, with a primary focus on proteins. Currently, my research is centered on the trefoil factor family peptides and small GTPases, two essential classes of biomolecules involved in cellular stability, signaling, and regulatory functions. Through a combination of computational and theoretical approaches, I strive to bridge detailed molecular insights with broader biological contexts.
