Khanh Dao Duc is a researcher at the University of British Columbia with expertise in Mathematics, Biology, and Bioinformatics. Their work explores the intersection of mathematical modeling and biological systems, focusing on topics such as replicative senescence, neuroglial potassium cycles, and ribosomal translation dynamics. They have contributed to understanding the role of telomeres in cellular aging, the impact of codon usage on translation efficiency, and the structural heterogeneities of the ribosome. Additionally, they have developed computational tools for analyzing ribosome structures and aligning cryo-EM maps. Their research bridges theoretical and applied approaches to study complex biological processes.
