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.
Lee Woodcock IRTA Fellow Current and future research will primarily focus on developing and employing QM/MM methodology to explore interesting problems that exist at the interface of chemistry and biology.
Asim Okur IRTA Fellow Protein dynamics and stability and enhanced conformational sampling algorithms via molecular dynamics simulations
Satoru Ito Visiting Fellow Development of computational algorithms and studies of the mechanisms of protein folding.
Joe Larkin IRTA Fellow Protein structure determination and QM/MM modelling of enzyme catalyzed reactions.
Ed O'Brien Pre-IRTA Uses computational methods and statistical mechanical models to study protein aggregation, the effects of molecular crowding on proteins, and the molecular mechanisms of chemical denaturation of proteins.
Erika Cobar Pre-IRTA QM and QM/MM studies of the mechanisms of transition metal catalysts and metalloenzymes.
