| Biography: Marc Baaden (LBT, UPR 9080) is a senior research director (DR1) at CNRS. He is currently head of the CNRS UPR9080 Theoretical Biochemistry Unit. He is co-author of > 120 publications and is known for molecular dynamics studies on membrane proteins published in Nature, PNAS, PLoS Comput Biol... , etc. Trained as a physical chemist, his research focuses on biological systems and phenomena at membranes and interfaces, where water and ion transport play a special role. He is internationally known for interactive molecular design approaches with multi-scale representations using unique in-house software. His research on protein simulations, bioinformatics, and permeating membrane systems features an intrinsically interdisciplinary approach. It combines chemistry, physics, biological sciences, and computer science. In particular establishing links with new technologies such as virtual reality and artificial intelligence. He has received several awards in the past and several of his papers have been recommended by the Faculty of 1000 in Biology and Medicine. Webpage: http://www.baaden.ibpc.fr | |
