Sandor Vajda is a professor of biomedical engineering and chemistry at Boston University. He received his MSc in applied mathematics and PhD in chemistry in Budapest, Hungary. He has held research positions in the Department of Engineering, University of Warwick, and the Department of Chemistry, Princeton University. He has been active in method development for modeling of biological macromolecules, with a focus on the analysis of protein–protein interactions, the characterization of protein-binding sites, target identification, druggability assessment, and the development of computational methods for fragment-based drug discovery. His group developed the protein–protein docking program and server ClusPro andvthe FTMap family of protein-mapping servers for the identification of binding hot spots.
