Sebastian Duno-Miranda
Graduate Student
Advisor: David Warshaw, Ph.D.
- Central University of Venezuela
BIO
I trained as a biologist at the Universidad Central de Venezuela (UCV) and the Instituto Venezolano de Investigaciones Cientificas (IVIC). My Licentiate thesis degree advisor was Dr. Raúl Padrón, and my thesis subject was Tarantula Exo-skeletal Muscle Structure and Function. Now I am close to finishing my PhD at the University of Vermont, under Dr. David M. Warshaw's supervision, studying the molecular mechanics of human cardiac myosin, the motor responsible for powering up the contractions of the human heart, the effect of multiple cardiomyopathy mutations, and the application of machine learning to enhance myosin in vitro motility analysis.
