Haleh Abdizadeh Received the Best Poster Presentation Award

Haleh Abdizadeh, PhD candidate in the Materials Science and Engineering Program, received the Best Poster Presentation Award in a recent conference on scientific computation 2013 (CSC2013) held on 3-7 December 2013 in Paphos, Cyprus. The prize also constitutes monetary contribution for use towards any other scientific meeting of her choice.

CSC2013 brought together international computational scientists, amongst them the directors of the largest High Performance Computing (HPC) facilities in Europe and the US. The European research community, local academics, scientists from the Eastern Mediterranean region and the United States. This event was funded by LinkSCEEM to support research in high performance computing. Haleh also received support for her attendance to this meeting.

The award-winning poster is entitled, “Monitoring backbone dynamics of human serum transferrin on nanosecond time scale to decipher cooperativity between iron binding lobes.” This project is supported by TÜBİTAK and supervised by Ali Rana Atilgan and Canan Atilgan. Its main aim is to understand conformational changes responsible for human transferrin protein function and interpret complex interactions operative in metal release mechanisms.
