Dr. 朱莉·伊尔
Associate Professor of 生物学
2008年朱莉·B. Ealy began research with undergraduates to computationally examine the hydrogen bond interactions of small molecules in the active site of HIV-1 integrase. Computation on 41 molecules resulted in a poster presentation, “Relationship of Hydrogen Bond Interactions of Inhibitors in the Active Site of HIV-1 Integrase and Lipinski's Rule of Five for Drug-like Properties,” at the Retroviruses Meeting, 冷泉港, NY, 2010. Nicole Zekind and Peter Khoury contributed to the research. Hydrogen bond research on 159 small molecules was completed in 2012, and a poster was presented at the American Chemical Society meeting in Philadelphia in August, 2012 by three undergraduate research students: Sarah Israel, 罗伯特·赫夫, 塔利亚·卡茨. 2013年8月. Ealy represented her undergraduate research students – Sarah Israel, 罗伯特·赫夫, 塔里亚卡茨, and Paolo Flauta – in Wuhan, 中国, where she presented at an international conference.
