Michael Nilges is a leading research scientist and Principal Investigator at the Institut Pasteur in Paris, France, affiliated with the Department of Structural Biology and Chemistry. He leads multiple high-impact research projects including the ERC-funded BAYCELLS, the Marie Curie ITN AEGIS, and the ViBrANT training network, focusing on integrative structural biology, computational modeling, and NMR-based structure determination.
His research interests span Structural Biology, Computational Biology, NMR methodology, protein-protein interactions, and drug discovery. He develops advanced software tools such as ARIA and ARIAweb for automated NMR structure calculation and promotes open science through platforms like InDeepNet and PIE.
The recent articles highlight a strong trend in computational and integrative structural biology, with applications in infectious diseases such as malaria and rabies, and a focus on protein function prediction, ligand binding, and macromolecular dynamics. His work bridges physics, chemistry, and biology to understand cellular processes at the molecular level.
His scientific awards include the prestigious ERC-2011-AdG BAYCELLS grant and the Marie Skłodowska-Curie AEGIS ITN, recognizing his leadership in training and innovation.
He actively mentors PhD students and postdoctoral researchers, including Borja Rodríguez de Francisco, Laura Ortega-Varga, Alexandra Moine-Franel, and Luis Checa Ruano. His research is supported by significant grants and collaborative networks across Europe. He also leads the development of key software and databases for the structural biology community.
Michael Nilges heads the Structural Biology facility and is deeply involved in organizing scientific events such as the 'NMR: a tool for biology' conference series, fostering collaboration and dissemination of cutting-edge methodologies in structural biology.
