معرفی
Anatoly B. Kolomeisky is a Professor of Chemistry and Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at Rice University, serving as Chair of the Department of Chemistry. He earned his BS/MS from Moscow State University and PhD from Cornell University (1998), followed by postdoctoral research at the University of Maryland. His research focuses on statistical mechanics applied to biological systems, including molecular motors, cellular transport mechanisms, error correction processes, and cancer dynamics. Over 20 PhD students and postdocs have graduated from his lab, now contributing to academia, industry, and national labs.
Key research areas include theoretical biophysics, stochastic processes in biological systems, and nanocatalysis. His work has been recognized through awards like the NSF CAREER Award, Sloan Fellowship, and Humboldt Research Fellowship. He is a Fellow of the American Physical Society.
Recent publications explore transcriptional bursting, antimicrobial peptide mechanisms, and plasmon-driven molecular machines. His lab develops coarse-graining methods for chemical networks and analyzes protein-DNA interactions using discrete-state stochastic models.
Grants and collaborations span cancer initiation dynamics, evolutionary network theory, and nanoparticle-based therapies. His research bridges physics, chemistry, and biology, with applications in drug design, cancer therapy, and nanotechnology.
