Biography

Dr. Durdagi applying computational chemistry methods to biological systems. His inter-disciplinary research focuses on protein modeling and dynamics, investigation of molecular mechanisms of protein/drug and protein/protein interactions and optimizations protocols for rational drug design. Dr. Durdagi published one book on computer-aided drug design in 2010 (“Recent Advances in Computational Drug Design Studies: The Application of In Silico Methodologies for Bioactive Cannabinoid and Fullerene Derivatives” by VDM-Verlag). He is also author/co-author of six book chapters (such as “Medicinal Chemistry Research Progress”, published by Nova Science and "Highlights in Computational Chemistry II” published by Springer) and over 30 research articles in top peer-reviewed medicinal chemistry, computational chemistry, quantum chemistry, bioinformatics, structural biology, biophysics and computational biology journals. Currently he is working at the Institute for Biocomplexity and Informatics (IBI) of the University of Calgary on a project of creation and validation of 3D atomistic models of pore and voltage-sensing domains of the human ether-a-go-go related gene 1 (hERG1) K+ channel.
