معرفی
Mu Yuguang serves as Associate Professor at Nanyang Technological University's School of Biological Sciences since 2006, following his Lee Kuan Yew Fellowship (2003-2006) at the same institution. His interdisciplinary work bridges Biomedical Sciences, Chemistry, Computer Science, and Physics with core expertise in Structural Biology and computational modeling.
His research centers on biomolecular simulations and molecular dynamics, specifically investigating membrane biophysics (including lipid bilayer responses to solvents), protein dynamics, and computational drug design. He develops simulation methodologies to analyze microbial membrane interactions and viral protein targets, with strong emphasis on translating computational findings into biomedical applications.
Recent publications (2018-2019) reveal consistent application of molecular dynamics to membrane-related challenges—from butanol-induced disorder in microbial membranes to conjugated oligoelectrolyte interactions—and antiviral drug discovery targeting dengue virus. This work demonstrates integration of physics-based modeling with biological problem-solving across multiple scales.
Scientific recognition includes:
- Lee Kuan Yew Postdoctoral Fellowship (2003-2006)
- Alexander von Humboldt Research Fellowship (1999-2000)
