Michael Levitt - Robert W. and Vivian K. Cahill Professor in Cancer Research in the School of Medicine and Professor of Structural Biology and (by courtesy) of Computer Science
Scientific Leadership Council Member, Clark Center Faculty
Dr. Levitt uses both molecular dynamics simulation and molecular modeling in the hopes of understanding the molecular structure and function of proteins and nucleic acids in enough detail to make accurate predictions about structure and function.
