DESCRIPTION:Prof Emmanuel Levy\nAbstract\nLife processes involve an intric
 ate choreography between tens of millions of protein building blocks that 
 form the infrastructure of cells. Recent technological advances have revea
 led the catalogs of proteins present in various cells and organisms. Howev
 er\, understanding how these proteins assemble and work together is an ext
 raordinarily complex task. I will present recent work from my lab that aim
 s at addressing this challenge using in silico and in vivo approaches.\n\n
 Biography\nEmmanuel Levy is a biologist integrating computational and expe
 rimental work to solve nature’s riddles. His research concentrates on th
 e principles of protein assembly. His notable contributions include the de
 termination of physiologically relevant assembly states for proteins of kn
 own structure\, the discovery of protein surface hot-spots\, where mutatio
 ns readily trigger new assemblages\, and the characterization of negative 
 design principles safeguarding proteins against mis-assembly. Levy did his
  undergraduate studies in France. He received his Ph.D. in 2008 from Cambr
 idge University\, UK\, working at the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology 
 with Dr. Sarah Teichmann. For his post-doctoral research\, he joined the g
 roup of Prof. Stephen Michnick at the University of Montreal\, Canada. In 
 2012\, he joined the Department of Chemical and Structural Biology at the 
 Weizmann Institute in Israel\, where he has been an Assistant and then an 
 Associate Professor. In 2024\, he joined the department of Molecular and C
 ellular Biology at the University of Geneva as a Full Professor. Levy was 
 awarded the Blavatnick Award in Chemistry (2020)\, the Wolf Foundation’s
  Krill Prize for Excellence in Scientific Research (2018)\, the HFSP Caree
 r Development Award (2015)\, and the Marie Curie Career Integration Award 
 (2012).\n\nLab Website\nwww.elevylab.org
