Carol Beth Post

Carol Beth Post studies the three-dimensional shapes (structures) and movements (dynamics) of proteins, with particular focus on kinases—enzymes that regulate cell signaling by adding phosphate groups to other proteins. Her work combines computational simulations (like molecular dynamics) with experimental methods such as NMR spectroscopy to understand how proteins change shape to become active or bind other molecules. This research helps explain how signaling proteins like Src and Syk kinases are switched on and off, which is relevant to understanding cellular communication and disease processes.

Publication output has been steady but modest over the last decade, with some fluctuation (a gap in 2021) and a slight recent uptick between 2023 and 2025.
