Shelby Brantley

Shelby is a computational chemist working across chemistry, biophysics, and structural biology. She was previously the first computational chemist at Jnana Therapeutics and Nereid Therapeutics, where she was responsible for building the computational chemistry platform and providing strategy and support for various drug discovery programs spanning immunology, oncology, neurology, and rare diseases.

Shelby received her PhD in Chemistry from the University of Notre Dame in Steve Corcelli’s lab, where her focus was using molecular dynamics simulations to study biomolecular system and understanding binding interactions at an atomistic level. She received a MS in Applied Computational Mathematics and Statistics from the University of Notre Dame and BS in Chemistry at Baylor University.

When not working, Shelby enjoys trying new restaurants around the Boston area, hiking, and participating recreational sports leagues.
