Biography
Régis Pomès obtained his PhD in theoretical chemistry with Andy McCammon, specialising in computer simulations of biomolecular systems. He then worked on the molecular mechanism of proton translocation in ion channels as a postdoc with Benoît Roux, before broadening his expertise in computational biophysics in the group of Ángel García at Los Alamos. In 1999 he moved to Toronto, where he has enjoyed developing an exciting collaborative research programme with a team of talented students and postdocs. He is interested in the development of computer simulation techniques and their application to studies of ion permeation in membrane proteins, protein-lipid interactions, as well as a broad range of problems pertaining to the solvation, binding, and aggregation of proteins in folded or disordered states.
