Dr. Robert Endres

Biography

Robert Endres leads the Complex Adaptive Living Matter (CALM) group at Imperial College London, focusing on quantitative understanding of sensing and signaling. He co-directs the Physics of Life Network of Excellence (PoLNE) and has been instrumental in designing and introducing a master's program in systems synthetic biology. Highly involved in training undergraduate students in systems biology, he joined Imperial College in 2007. Prior to this, he was a senior lecturer and a postdoctoral researcher under Professor Ned Wingreen in the Molecular Biology Department at Princeton University, where he made significant contributions to understanding the remarkable signaling properties of bacterial chemotaxis and atomistic predictions of protein-DNA binding sites. He obtained his PhD in physics from the University of California at Davis in 2002, where he worked in Professor Daniel Cox's group on charge transfer in biomolecules, particularly focusing on DNA. He also earned a master's degree in physics from the University of Göttingen in Germany in 1999, working with Professor Kurt Schoenhammer on highly correlated electronic systems. Furthermore, he spent an academic year at the University of California at Santa Cruz in 1996/1997.
