Tamara L. Kinzer‐Ursem

Tamara Kinzer-Ursem's research uses computational and biophysical modeling to understand how proteins like calmodulin and CaMKII regulate cell signaling, particularly in the context of synaptic plasticity (how connections between brain cells change) and neurodegeneration. Her group also develops laboratory tools such as clickable calmodulin for protein purification and microfluidic biosensors for pathogen detection. The work combines molecular simulation, biochemistry, and engineering approaches to study protein dynamics and cell signaling networks.

Publication output peaked in 2017 and has since settled into a more moderate, somewhat variable pace of roughly 5-10 papers per year over the last decade.
