Bio:

http://groups.csail.mit.edu/tidor/
Bruce Tidor received his Ph.D. (1990) in Biophysics from Harvard University under the supervision of Professor Martin Karplus, where he studied protein folding and binding with free energy simulations and normal mode calculations. In 1990 he moved to the Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research, where he started his independent research as a Whitehead Fellow. In 1994 he was appointed to the faculty at MIT. He is currently Professor of Biological Engineering and Computer Science. His research focuses on the analysis of complex biological systems at the molecular and cellular level. Using molecular modeling, theory, and computation, he explores the structure, function, and interactions of proteins and the roles played by specific chemical groups in defining the stability and specificity of molecular interactions. Using cell-level models his group is exploring the relationship between network structure and biological function. He is actively applying knowledge from modeling studies to rational design.
