He receives the prize for his important pioneering work on the development of innovative computational methods for biophysics. He applied an important method of machine learning (Markov modeling) to protein simulations in order to gain important scientific insights into the complex dynamics of proteins and other molecules.
As an in-silico researcher, Professor Noé is a member of the InVitro+Jobs working group list. He has already succeeded in elucidating important details of the dynamin molecule. Dynamin is an enzyme that plays a role in the transport release of vesicles filled with messengers or nutrients into the cell (endocytosis).
