Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSemen Yesylevskyy is a molecular modeling and theoretical biophysics expert with over a decade of experience translating molecular dynamics into practical drug discovery pipelines. As Co-founder and Chief Scientific Officer at Receptor.AI and a researcher at IOCB Prague and Palacký University, he leads development of AI-driven in silico methods to evaluate drug permeability and selectivity. He holds a PhD and a Doctor of Science (habilitation) and has pioneered MD techniques for highly curved and asymmetric lipid membranes, revealing how curvature and composition affect drug permeation. Semen is the author of open-source molecular modeling libraries Pteros and MolAR, underscoring his commitment to reproducible scientific software. His work bridges deep academic research—spanning polarizable coarse-grained models to ensemble docking—with startup-focused productization, making complex biophysical insight actionable for drug discovery. Colleagues often note his accentuated pronunciation (SemEn) as a small but memorable trademark of a thoughtful scientist-entrepreneur.
