Michael Harnish Email & Phone Number

I graduated from the University of Tennessee in August of 2022 with a bachelor of science degree with a double major in biochemistry, cellular and molecular biology (BCMB) and neuroscience. I have since been accepted by the graduate school at UTK to pursue my PhD in BCMB. I have been working in a computational biochemistry lab since late 2021. My work has been focused on nuclear receptor conformational dynamics. My primary project has been examining the effects of covalently bound ligands on the structure of disordered regions of the human androgen receptor n-terminal domain. However, my true interest is in amyloid polymorphism, factors that lead to the structural variation, and how varied morphology relates to disease pathology.
