Prof. Ganesh Anand received his Bachelor’s in Pharmacy and Master of Science in Biological Sciences from the Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani, India and doctorate from Rutgers University, New Brunswick, NJ. He carried out his postdoctoral research at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, University of California San Diego, La Jolla, CA. He Joined the Department of Biological Sciences (DBS), National University of Singapore (NUS) as an Assistant Professor in 2006 and progressed to the role of Associate Professor in 2013. He was also the Director of Protein and Proteomics Centre (PPC) at DBS, NUS. He is currently an Associate Professor at Penn State University (PSU) in University Park, PA where he joined in the second-half of 2020.
Professional Experience
Dr. Ganesh (GA) is an Associate Professor at the department of Chemistry at Penn State University in University Park, PA. His lab investigates allostery, conformational dynamics of intrinsically disordered signaling enzymes, transmembrane receptor signaling and viral protein dynamics. Other projects include protein dynamics in viral maturation and fragment-based drug discovery. The lab uses amide hydrogen/deuterium exchange mass-spectrometry (HDX-MS) as a primary tool for protein dynamics.
