Peter W. Hildebrand

Peter W. Hildebrand is a Professor at the University of Leipzig, leading the Proteinformatics Workgroup in the Department of Protein Formatics. His research focuses on GPCR structural dynamics and computational biophysics, using molecular dynamics simulations and bioinformatics to study membrane protein interactions.

His workgroup develops interactive web tools like MDsrv for simulation analysis, MutationExplorer for mutation visualization, and ProteinPrompt for interaction prediction. Recent publications highlight collaborations on GPCR activation mechanisms, ligand binding, and adhesion GPCR functional dynamics.

Scientific contributions include developing methods for fragment-based protein modeling, conformational pathway analysis, and allosteric modulation studies. He mentors doctoral candidates like Maik Pankonin and Maximilian Salomon, while maintaining active collaborations in computational structural biology and transmembrane signaling research.
