Summary
Danny Hsu is an accomplished structural biologist and academic leader with over a decade of experience probing biomolecular folding dynamics and the molecular basis of genetic disease. He leads integrated biophysics and structural biology programs across Academia Sinica, National Taiwan University, and Hiroshima University, combining solution-state NMR, HDX-MS, X-ray crystallography, and cryo-EM to tackle intrinsically disordered proteins and membrane glycoproteins. As director of multiple core facilities and a principal investigator, he blends hands-on method development with strategic facility management, prioritizing workflows that translate complex biophysical data into actionable insights. His work spans quantitative protein (mis)folding studies, molecular modelling, and bioinformatics, bridging atomic-level structure with cellular function. An educator and society leader, he has shaped NMR research and core infrastructure in Taiwan while maintaining active international collaborations. Notably, his background in physics and a cum laude PhD from Utrecht underpin a rare combination of theoretical rigor and experimental breadth.
