About

Dr. Mikhail Kibalchenko is a postdoctoral fellow who is an expert in quantum mechanics and its implementation in understanding protein structure and dynamics. He has combined quantum mechanics with experimental techniques as a powerful interdisciplinary tool to progress scientific knowledge in the structural studies of infinitely disordered chalcogenide glasses, magnetic environments within carbon nanotubes, techniques for distinguishing hydrogen bonding networks, and most recently transport mechanisms in the ADP/ATP mitochondrial transport proteins. In the Teplow laboratory Dr. Kibalchenko is studying the mechanisms of pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s Disease.
