Dr. Julie C. Mitchell is an Assistant Principal Scientist at the San Diego Supercomputer Center. After completing her Ph.D. in Mathematics at UC Berkeley in 1998, she came to UC San Diego as a postdoc in the La Jolla Interfaces in Science Program. She has been in her present position since July 2001. Mitchell's research pertains to the prediction of molecular interactions, particularly protein-protein docking. She has developed the Fast Atomic Density Evaluation (FADE) and Pairwise Atomic Density Reverse Engineering (PADRE) programs for analyzing molecular shape and is presently working on the Docking Mesh Evaluator (DOME) for protein docking with implicit solvent electrostatics.
