Kevin Sawade

Kevin tackles protien folding problems and strifes to find structure-function-relationships of ubiquitin and ubiquitin chains. Roughly 5% of the human genome encode for Ub-ligases and ubiquitin plays a fundamental role in many cellular processes like protein degradation, DNA, and membrane regulation. Yet, how different Ub-chains affect different cellular mechanisms remains poorly understood. His research aims to shed some light on these processes.

Kevin employs large-scale molecular dynamics simulations on all tiers of HPC resources. He codes employs his own state-of-the art analysis pipelines using distributed computing and machine learning. Besides this, Kevin is passionate in writing quality of life improvements for computational chemists in python: https://github.com/kevinsawade
