个人简介：

Prof. Yaoqi Zhou got his PhD in Chemical Physics in the State University of New York in 1990 and went to the Harvard University as a post-doc in 1995. He joined Griffith University as a professor in School of Information and Communication Technology and Institute for Glycomics in 2013. The Research interests of Prof. Zhou include protein structure and function prediction (DNA, RNA & Glycan-binding), computational protein design and experimental validation, experimental and theoretical codon optimization, prioritization of human.

报告摘要：

De novo computer-assisted design of molecules has played important roles in discovering new inhibitors, chemicals and biomolecules for therapeutical and biotech purposes. However, its success rate is too low to be of widespread usage. The common problem is lack of an energy function that can accurately describe atomic interactions. In this talk, Prof. Yaoqi Zhou will present several methods ranging from small molecule design, target discovery, peptide design and protein design that are promising to advance the success rate of design to the next level.
