Bio:

Blaine Mooers is a biochemistry professor at Univ. of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center. He is also a member of the Stephenson Cancer Center and serves as director of the Laboratory of Biomolecular Structure and Function. His lab uses X-ray crystallography, small-angle X-ray scattering, structure-based drug design, and molecular dynamics simulations. His research interests include developing software to improve computational workflows in structural biology. He has been using Python and Jupyter to aid the analysis of his data for the past ten years. He won a 2018 Warren L. DeLano Memorial PyMOL Open-Source Fellowship, which funded some of this work. He served as Chair of the SSRL User Executive Committee in 2017 and 2023. He won the Farrel W. Lytle Award award in 2022 for his service to the SSRL user community. He is a standing member of the NIH MRB study section. The NIH currently funds his research.
