Kevin Drew

Kevin Drew is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biological Sciences at the University of Illinois Chicago's College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. His research focuses on developing computational and biochemical tools to systematically characterize molecular interactions in cells, with applications in understanding disease mechanisms and therapeutic development.

Education includes a Ph.D. in Biology – Molecular Biophysics from New York University School of Medicine (2014), M.S. in Computer Science from University of Chicago (2005), and B.S. in Computer Science from University of Iowa (2003).

Research interests span molecular interactions, proteomics, computational biology, structural biology, machine learning applications in biology, macromolecular assemblies, and drug design. The Drew Lab employs biochemical, computational, and proteomic approaches to identify cellular macromolecular assemblies, characterize their structural states, determine 3D structures, and develop interaction modulators.

Publications demonstrate consistent focus on proteomics, computational modeling of protein complexes, and biomolecular interaction analysis. Recent work emphasizes high-throughput methods for complex identification, evolutionary conservation of interactions, and therapeutic targeting of protein interfaces.

No awards or student advising information was available. Lab activities at the Drew Lab include systematic characterization of macromolecular assemblies using interdisciplinary approaches.
