Julia Rogers is a Jane Coffin Childs Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Systems Biology. She aims to uncover the biophysical mechanisms responsible for cell homeostasis by integrating molecular- and systems-level knowledge into unifying theories. As an NSF Graduate Research Fellow at UC Berkeley (Chemistry), she obtained insights into the molecular properties and microscopic dynamics of biomolecules that enable collective functions, in particular the maintenance of cell membrane compositions, using simulation and theory. Currently, her postdoctoral research focuses on developing integrative data- and physics-based modeling frameworks using the tools of machine learning and statistical mechanics to investigate cell signaling networks at proteome scale.
