معرفی
Prof. Alexandre Bonvin is a Professor of Computational Structural Biology and Scientific Director of the Bijvoet Center for Biomolecular Research at Utrecht University. He leads the Computational Structural Biology group, focusing on developing integrative computational methods to study biomolecular interactions. His work emphasizes predicting protein complex structures using experimental data and computational models, with applications in drug discovery and structural biology. Bonvin pioneered the HADDOCK software suite, a widely used platform for modeling biomolecular complexes.
Education: Studied Chemistry at the University of Lausanne, obtained a PhD from Utrecht University (1993), followed by postdocs at Yale University and ETH Zurich. Joined Utrecht University in 1998, becoming a full professor in 2009. He has held leadership roles, including Director of Chemical Education and Vice Head of the Chemistry Department.
Research Themes: Biomolecular interactions, computational modeling, NMR spectroscopy, and grid computing. He coordinates EU projects like WeNMR and BioExcel, advancing e-infrastructure for structural biology. His lab’s contributions include software tools like HADDOCK, DisVis, and PowerFit, serving thousands of researchers globally.
Awards: 2006 VICI grant from NWO, HPC Innovation Award (2020). Over 275 peer-reviewed publications, including high-impact work on teixobactin mechanism and antibody modeling. Active in training through EMBO courses and mentoring postdocs/students.
