Bercem Dutagaci, Ph.D

Dutagaci Lab uses computers to study biomolecular systems and processes. Molecular dynamics simulations and machine learning techniques are used to develop mechanistic understandings of the functions of biomolecules. The current research in Dutagaci Lab focuses on RNA polymerase dynamics, function, and spatial organizations. Their objectives are to develop the molecular basis of RNA polymerase function and to understand the relation of human health conditions ranging from developmental disorders to neurodegenerative diseases with defects in RNA polymerase function.
