Ilya A. Vakser

Ilya A. Vakser is a biophysics researcher and expert in protein interactions and structural description of protein complexes. He is known for his contributions to the field of molecular modelling and bioinformatics. Vakser is currently a Full Professor and Director of the KU Center for Computational Biology at the University of Kansas.

Education and Career

Vakser received his PhD in biophysics from Moscow State University in 1989. He then underwent further training at the Weizmann Institute, Washington University, and the Rockefeller University.

Prior to joining the University of Kansas in 2005, Vakser served on the faculty of the Medical University of South Carolina as an Assistant Professor and Associate Professor. He also held a position as an Associate Professor at SUNY Stony Brook.

Research and Contributions

Vakser's research focuses on molecular modelling in the context of structural genomics and bioinformatics. His major goals are to develop approaches for modelling protein interactions and to reconstruct the network of connections between proteins in a genome. Vakser is particularly interested in understanding the fundamental principles of protein interaction and creating a structure-based description of genomes.

He is one of the authors of the FFT docking algorithm, a standard tool in the protein docking field, and he initiated the community-wide CAPRI protein docking competition.
