Prof. Alexandre Bonvin
Alexandre Bonvin (1964) studied Chemistry at Lausanne University, Switzerland and obtained his PhD at Utrecht University in the Netherlands (1993). After two post-doc periods at Yale University (USA) and the ETHZ (CH) he joined Utrecht University in 1998 where he was appointed full professor of computational structural biology in 2009. In 2006, he received a prestigious VICI grant from the Dutch Research Council. He was director of chemical education (2009-2012), vice head of the Chemistry Department (2010-2012) and Scientific Director of the Bijvoet Centre for Biomolecular Research (2019-2023). He has and is participating to several EU projects including the BioExcel Center of Excellence in Biomolecular Simulations.
Research within his group focuses on the development of reliable bioinformatics and computational approaches to predict, model and dissect biomolecular interactions at atomic level. To this end they develop the widely used HADDOCK integrative modelling software (https://bonvinlab.org/software; https://wenmr.science.uu.nl)
Session
A primary objective of the coalition is to unify the currently fragmented Dutch community and become more visible to all the stakeholders. The coalition will synthesize a clear HPC agenda underpinned by use-cases that highlight both academic and economic value. The coalition will act as an advisory and sounding board to represent the Dutch HPC community.
This year's meeting will develop the discussion based on a set of prominent HPC projects and the development and user experience around them. These presentations and the related discussions should directly contribute to the Community Position paper draft.
