Alexey Nesterenko – New Postdoctoral Researcher
Alexey Nesterenko is our new Postdoctoral Fellow who has joined the CBU to contribute in simulating lipid membranes and carbohydrates, and to do biomacromolecular force field validation, under supervision of Markus Miettinen. Alexey got his PhD in a field between computational chemistry and electrochemistry in 2014 at the Frumkin Institute of Physical Chemistry and Electrochemistry …
CBU Group Leader Prof. Eivind Valen Wins The ERC Consolidator Grant
This week we received word that Eivind Valen has been awarded an ERC Consolidator Grant. Eivind has been leading the Valen group at the Computational Biology Unit at the University of Bergen for 9 years, where they are working towards solving questions surrounding regulation of gene expression. We are hugely proud of Eivind, and thrilled …
Lennart Mameren – New Guest Researcher At CBU
Lennart is a guest researcher joining Reuter’s group who will work with us at CBU for 6 months. The goal of the project is to evaluate the ability of molecular mechanics force fields to model, through molecular simulations, the properties of peptide-bilayer systems observed from solid state NMR. The bulk of the work will be …
