Biography:

Marc Baaden is a senior research director at CNRS. He is currently head of the Theoretical Biochemistry Unit UPR9080 at CNRS. He is co-author of > 130 publications and is well known for molecular dynamics studies on membrane proteins published in Nature, PNAS, PLoS Comput Biol... , etc. Trained as a physical chemist, his research focuses on biological systems and phenomena at membranes and interfaces, where water and ion transport play a special role. He is internationally known for interactive molecular design approaches with multi-scale representations using unique in-house software. His outstanding research on protein simulations, bioinformatics, and permeating membrane systems has led to many successful applications.His interdisciplinary approach combines chemistry, physics, biological sciences, and computer science with state of art technological developments such as virtual reality and tangible smart objects.
