TCBG Profile
| Chris Harrison works on various aspects of quantum biology relevant to cellular function and disease that represent promising targets for future bioengineering efforts. As a graduate student he studied biomolecules that repair DNA damage in cells through quantum events such as energy, electron and proton transfer. After completing his Ph.D., Harrison joined the TCB group to couple his experience in quantum calculations with large-scale simulation methods of biomolecular complexes to work on a variety of topics in bioenergetics and molecular design such as photosynthesis and molecular machines. His software development efforts are focused on developing methods to more easily and accurately study these topics, and include multi-scale or hybrid methods such as QM/MM, methods for accurate free energy calculations, and improved conformational and accelerated sampling methods in NAMD. Harrison is also involved in petascale simulation efforts with NAMD. |  Chris Harrison |
