Summary
Trained as a Cell Biologist, Alexandre G. de Brevern is a Structural Bioinformatician for now near 20 years. Senior Researcher at the French National Institute for Health and Medical Research (INSERM), he is the head of the team 2 of INSERM UMR_S 1134 located at the National Institute for Blood Transfusion (INTS). He has two main axes of researches: (i) developing innovate methodologies useful for the scientific community and (ii) specific application to proteins implicated in diseases and pathologies. Concerning the first axis, he provided near 20 tools, webservers and databases mainly dealing with the analyses and prediction of protein behaviours, e.g. superimposition of protein structures and prediction of protein flexibility. Concerning the second axis, he used mainly comparative modelling and molecular dynamics to analyse protein for Red Blood Cells and platelets. He also extended his work to drug design with collaborations with companies and Next-Generation Sequencing. He had authored more than 130 papers, is editor in 5 peer-reviewed journals and is implicated in numerous scientific societies and institutes.
