Milo Lin, Ph.D. Associate Professor Endowed Title Cecil H. and Ida Green Endowed Scholar in Biomedical Computational Science School Medical School Department Lyda Hill Department of Bioinformatics | Biophysics | Center for Alzheimer's and Neurodegenerative Diseases Graduate Programs Biomedical Engineering, Molecular Biophysics Biography Milo Lin is an Associate Professor in the Lyda Hill Department of Bioinformatics since September 2024. He joined the department as assistant professor in 2021. Since 2015, he is also a member of the Cecil H. and Ida Green Center for Systems Biology. He is the Cecil H. and Ida M. Green Endowed Scholar in Biomedical Computational Science. Milo Lin received his B.S. and Ph.D. in physics from Caltech in 2006 and 2012, respectively. His thesis work, under the mentorship of Ahmed Zewail, was on physical principles of protein folding. He was a Miller Independent Research Fellow, hosted by David Chandler, at UC Berkeley from 2012-2015. Education Undergraduate California Inst of Technology (2006), Physics Graduate School California Inst of Technology (2012), Physics Research Interest Using statistical physics, interpretable deep learning, and molecular simulations, the Lin lab seeks design principles that constrain and modularize the behavior of biological systems. Current projects in the lab include predicting and designing information flow and allostery within proteins, generating truly de novo protein sequences for specified functions, and mapping biomolecular dynamics to the mathematical domain of scalable electronic circuits.
