Tamara M. Gund, PhD

Tamara M. Gund, PhD	Tamara M. Gund, PhD, is a professor in the department of chemistry and environmental science at New Jersey Institute of Technology. Her research interests include development of a solvent database for pure and mixed solvents; modeling of receptors and their ligands, especially the acetylcholine (muscarainic and nicotinic), the sigma and PCP receptors and the pleasure receptor (cocaine and other abusive drugs); modeling of the interaction between antimalarial agents such as artemisinin (qinghaosu) with hemin; and the calculation of preferred structures of biologically and theoretically important molecules. Recent publications include: K.L. Shukla, T.. Gund and S.R. Meshnick, "Molecular Modeling Studies of the artemisin (Qinghoasu)-hemin Interaction: Docking Between the Antimalarial Agent and its Putative Receptor." J.Mol. Graphics 13, 215-222 (1995). She received her PhD from Princeton University.
