Scientific Advisor to President Obama to Keynote Upcoming CHI Conference Cambridge Healthtech Institute and Bio-IT World Present the Eleventh Annual STRUCTURE-BASED DRUG DESIGN June 6-8, 2011 Royal Sonesta Boston Hotel - Cambridge, MA http://www.healthtech.com/sbd Keynote Speaker: Millisecond-Long Molecular Dynamics Simulations of Proteins on a Special-Purpose Machine David E. Shaw, Ph.D., Chief Scientist, D. E. Shaw Research David E. Shaw serves as chief scientist of D. E. Shaw Research and as a senior research fellow at the Center for Computational Biology and Bioinformatics at Columbia University. He received his Ph.D. from Stanford University in 1980, served on the faculty of the Computer Science Department at Columbia until 1986, and founded the D. E. Shaw group in 1988. Since 2001, Dr. Shaw has been involved in full-time, hands-on research in the field of computational biochemistry. His lab is currently involved in the development of new algorithms and machine architectures for high-speed molecular dynamics simulations of biological macromolecules, and in the application of such simulations to basic scientific research and computer-assisted drug design. Dr. Shaw was appointed to the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology by President Clinton in 1994, and again by President Obama in 2009. He is a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
