Justin MacCallum is a Professor at the University of Calgary, focusing on biomolecular structure design and computational modeling. He holds a PhD in Biomolecular Simulation obtained in 2008 and a BSc in Biochemistry from the same institution awarded in 2002. His research involves investigating protein structure and biomolecular recognition through a combination of computational modeling and biophysical experiments. The goals of his lab encompass understanding the fundamental driving forces behind molecular interactions, as well as applying this knowledge to innovate in the fields of structure determination and the design of novel biomolecules. Current laboratory efforts are directed toward alternative strategies for structure determination, modeling interactions between proteins and peptides, and developing scientific machine learning techniques to integrate computational and experimental methodologies. These contributions aim to enhance practical applications related to biomolecular design and analysis.
