Ali Ebrahim Email & Phone Number

Ali is a BSc (Hons) Biology and MPhil Biochemistry graduate of the University of Portsmouth, UK. His MPhil focused on the characterisation of cellulases involved in the production of second-generation biofuels, igniting an interest into the field of X-ray crystallography. He earned his PhD from the University of Essex, UK, in early 2020, under the co-supervision of Dr. Mike Hough from the University of Essex and Dr. Robin Owen from Diamond Light Source, UK. His research focused on the development of serial crystallography data collection and processing methods for both synchrotrons and X-ray free-electron lasers, used to analyze and exploit the effects of radiation damage in metalloproteins. He joined the CUNY Advanced science research Center in 2020 as a postdoctoral research associate with Dr. Daniel Keedy in the spring of 2020 (though the pandemic had something to say about that…). Ali has used his postdoc to explore variable-temperature and high-pressure X-ray crystallography, as well as fragment-based drug discovery and structure based drug design. He aims to use these crystallographic and computational skills to further unlock understanding within ligand binding, activity, and allostery of validated therapeutic drug targets.Ali's full publication list available at https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2661-381X
