معرفی
Dr. Joel Graef is a Researcher at the University of Hamburg, affiliated with the Center for Bioinformatics within the Algorithmic Molecular Design department. His research focuses on developing computational methods for geometric searching in protein structures, particularly protein-ligand and protein-protein interfaces. His work emphasizes algorithm design, database technologies, and user-centric tools for structural bioinformatics.
Key research projects include the development of GeoMine and ProteinsPlus, which enable large-scale analysis of protein binding sites and structural patterns. These tools facilitate drug discovery, functional protein analysis, and structural similarity searches in biological databases. Graef's contributions bridge computational methods with practical applications in molecular biology.
His recent publications (2021–2025) highlight advancements in geometric data mining, binding site prediction, and scalable database workflows. Though no awards are explicitly listed, his work reflects significant innovation in structural bioinformatics methodologies.
Graef collaborates with interdisciplinary teams and maintains active engagement in software development for the scientific community. His office is located at Albert-Einstein-Ring 8-10, Room 4023, and he can be contacted via email.
