Bio: My name is Blessing and I obtained my BS degrees in Chemistry, Mathematics, and Biochemistry from the University of North Texas. My passion in life has always been scientific discovery, research and teaching. During my undergrad, the formative years of my research, I contributed significant research in the areas of asymmetric catalysis in organic chemistry, analytical chemistry involving solvent coefficient models, and structural biophysics of cytoskeletal proteins. My current research in the Brooks lab involves establishing a method development that utilizes an enhanced sampling technique known as Umbrella Sampling and a relative binding free energy technique known as Multisite Lambda Dynamics (MSLD) to create a high throughput method of deriving ligand binding free energy profiles as they pass through aquaporin channels. This coincides with my current research interests which involve exploring opportunities in medicine invention and design leveraging, and method development and in -silico optimization utilizing computational biophysics and machine learning algorithms. In my free time, I love fencing (Foil), practicing the violin with my church's quartet, learning new languages, exploring new cities, and I never turn down an opportunity to hang out with friends. As an extrovert, building relationships along with research prowess is something I always look forward to. If you have anymore questions, feel free to email me at boloyede@umich.edu or contact me on my LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/blessing-oloyede-b99757164/"
