Profile

Research interests

David Bednar is interested in molecular modelling and bioinformatics for predicting the effect of mutations in protein engineering and explaining protein behaviours in enzymology. He has experience in molecular dynamics, quantum chemistry, virtual screening, and structure and stability prediction, which are applied to reveal structure-function relationships. He uses his knowledge of computational tools to the construction of protein engineering pipelines which can be utilized by the broader scientific community as user-friendly software tools. David also focuses on medical problems by contributing to the development of new drugs for the treatment of stroke, analyzing cancer-related mutations, and researching the effect of small molecules on Alzheimer disease.
