Kristoffer Enøe Johansson

I am a Ph. D. student in the field of Computational Protein Design at the Department of Biology, University of Copenhagen.

Research Interests

Computational Protein Science is the central topic of my PhD work. Methods, topics and tools include:

• Protein design. Strengths and limitations of common computational methods.
• Monte Carlo simulation of protein folding and folding pathways.
• Essential interactions in proteins at the atomic level.
• Statistical modeling of proteins using Bayesian networks.
• Protein thermodynamics.
• Software development mainly using C/C++, Python and bash.
• As a more passive interest I'm an advocate of open source software. I am very encouraged by the trend towards public domain software and data that is stiring in the biotech industry (e.g. Lowering industry firewalls: pre-competitive informatics initiatives in drug discovery, 2009).

My Ph.D. project is jointly supervised by

• Jakob R. Winther. Professor and head of section, Protein Biology Group at University of Copenhagen.
• Jesper Ferkinghoff-Borg. Associate professor, Biomedical Engineering at DTU. Background in physics.
• Thomas Hamelryck. Associate professor, Structual Bioinformatics group leader.

I have a cand.scient. (M.Sc) in Nanotechnology from the Nano-Science Center and Niels Bohr Institute at University of Copenhagen.
