Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolNaoto Hori is an Assistant Professor of Computational Biophysics at the University of Nottingham with 12 years of experience applying molecular simulation and high-performance computing to RNA folding and RNA–protein interactions. Trained in chemistry (Kobe University) and biophysics (Kyoto University, PhD), he blends academic rigor from postdoctoral work in the US with prior industry experience as a software engineer to build bespoke coarse-grained models and simulation software. Since joining Nottingham as a Research Fellow in 2020 and later as faculty, he has focused on the structure and therapeutic potential of long, heterogeneous RNAs, developing computational approaches that bridge atomistic insight and tractable large-scale modeling. Fluent in both code and biophysics, he leverages unique modeling tools (e.g., CafeMol development early in his career) to tackle RNA misfolding mechanisms and inform RNA therapeutics.
