Andrew D White
I do simulations of peptides,
small molecular zwitterions,
and structural bioinformatics
studies of proteins. These
simulations help our group
better understand hydration,
protein-cosolvent
interactions, and
nonfouling. I'm a graduate
student and working towards a
PhD.

I received my PhD degree from The University of Michigan, college of biomedical engineering, Ann Arbor (Go Blue!). There, we investigated the thrombogenicity of nitric oxide (NO) releasing/generating blood-contacting devices in vivo using animal models. My current research focus is adding low-fouling zwitterionic coatings to NO-releasing/generating surfaces in order to extend the lifespan of blood-contacting medical devices.
