Current CBS staff members

Name Title Role
Bernard Brooks Chief, Laboratory of Computational Biology LoBoS project oversite, planning, CHARMM development, and research direction.
Xiongwu Wu Staff Scientist Research focuses on developing computational methods to solve complicated biological problems. This includes work on a series of projects like protein folding, electron microscopy (EM) structure determination, and macromolecular assembly modeling.
Asim Okur Reasearch Fellow Protein dynamics and stability and enhanced conformational sampling algorithms via molecular dynamics simulations
Peng Tao Research Fellow Application and development of QM/MM methods for enzymatic reaction mechanism investigation. Studying structure-function relationship for multiple enzyme systems.
Gerhard Koenig Visiting Fellow Free energy simulations of biomolecular systems.
Joe Larkin IRTA Fellow Protein structure determination and QM/MM modelling of enzyme catalyzed reactions.
Alex Sodt (50%) IRTA Fellow Studying transmembrane protein structure, particularly the driving forces for helix dimerization in a lipid bilayer. This research includes both model development and the advancement of simulation methodology.
Frank Pickard Pre-IRTA QM modeling of thermodynamic properties of small molecules, QM/MM modeling of enzyme catalyzed reactions and CHARMMing development.
Beliz Saybasili Predoctoral Visiting Fellow Developing techniques and software so that CHARMM can be used with eXplicit Multi-Therading (XMT), a computer technology that is based on parallel algorithmic model PRAM.
