Dr.
Pande is an Associate Professor of Chemistry
and of Structural Biology (by courtesy).
Professor Pande’s current research centers
on the development and application of novel simulation
techniques to address problems in chemical biology.
In particular, he has pioneered novel distributed
computing methodology to break fundamental barriers
in the simulation of kinetics and thermodynamics
of proteins and nucleic acids. Using his “Folding@Home”
(http://folding.stanford.edu) project, Prof. Pande
has, for the first time, directly simulated protein
folding dynamics with quantitative comparisons
with experiment, often considered a “holy
grail” of computational biology.
