Molecular simulations of biological systems: mechanistic insights, drug design, and protein engineering
With continuous advancements in methods development, software, and hardware, molecular simulations are playing an increasingly vital role in studying biological systems. In this talk, I will present some recent work from my group, focusing on mechanistic studies of protein-ligand recognition and molecular design, including both small-molecule inhibitors and protein engineering. Additionally, I will provide a brief introduction to the ARC Centre of Excellence in Quantum Biotechnology (QUBIC) and our ongoing efforts to explore and utilise quantum effects in biological systems.
Haibo Yu completed his undergraduate studies at the University of Science and Technology of China and earned his PhD at ETH Zürich, Switzerland. He then conducted postdoctoral training at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and the University of Chicago, USA. In 2010, he began his independent career at the University of Wollongong, Australia, where he is currently a Professor and a Chief Investigator at the Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence in Quantum Biotechnology. His research interests include developing and applying computational models to study molecular systems and molecular engineering.
