Mina Henes
ARTDTP Trainee
Program: Biochemistry, Cell and Developmental Biology
Faculty Advisor: Graeme Conn, PhD
Mina completed his undergraduate degree in Biochemistry at Worcester Polytechnic Institute in 2018, where he investigated antiviral resistance mechanisms. He joined Emory’s MD/PhD Program in 2020 and after completing the first phase of medical training, joined the BCDB program in 2023. His research in the Conn lab aims to blend computational (e.g. advanced molecular dynamics simulations) with experimental biochemistry, microbiology, and structural biology to deepen our understanding of molecular mechanisms underpinning bacterial resistance to antibiotic treatments.
