Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolTsjerk Wassenaar is a pharmaceutical scientist and computational chemist with over a decade of experience applying molecular dynamics, medicinal chemistry and neuropharmacology to study protein–protein and protein–ligand interactions. He combines deep research experience—from PhD work on cytokine–receptor dynamics to postdoctoral development of multiscale simulation tools—with a strong teaching and software-development track as Senior Lecturer in Bioinformatics and Scientific Software Developer. Skilled in Python, statistics and automated MD workflows (creator of tools such as martinize/insane/daft during his career), he bridges hands-on method development and reproducible computational pipelines for life-science students and researchers. Multilingual and experienced in academic governance and HR-related legal matters, he is comfortable leading interdisciplinary, intercultural projects that translate complex biomolecular questions into practical analyses.
