Michael Levitt (born 9 May 1947), FRS, is a South African-born biophysicist and structural biologist known for his work in molecular dynamics simulations and computational biology. He is currently a professor at Stanford University in California, a position he has held since 1987.
Levitt was born in Pretoria, South Africa, to a Jewish family from Lithuania. He attended Sunnyside Primary School and then Pretoria Boys High School between England when he was 15. He studied applied mathematics at the University of Pretoria and later received a Bachelor's degree in physics from King's College London in 1967. He went on to obtain a [[Doctor of Philosophy">PhD in computational biology from Peterhouse, Cambridge in 1971.
Michael Levitt's career began at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot, Israel, where he was a visiting fellow from postdoctoral fellow at the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology from [[1972] to [1974]. During this time, he also held a position as a staff scientist at the laboratory from [[1974] to [1979].
In 1979, Levitt became an associate professor in chemical physics at the Weizmann Institute, and he left as a full professor in 1987. He then joined Stanford University as a professor of structural biology, where he has remained ever since.
Levitt is known for being one of the first researchers to conduct [[molecular dynamics">molecular dynamics simulations of [[DNA] and proteins. He developed the first software for this purpose and has made significant contributions to the field of computational biology. He has also worked on simplified representations of protein structure and the development of scoring systems for large-scale sequence-structure comparisons.
Michael Levitt received the 2013 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for "the development of multiscale models for complex chemical systems", which he shared with Martin Karplus and Arieh Warshel. He has also been recognised with numerous other awards, including:
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Levitt gained attention for his predictions and comments about the spread of the disease. While some of his early predictions were accurate, such as the decline of cases in China, he also made incorrect predictions, including the outbreak duration in the United States. He has also raised concerns about the potential negative impacts of lockdown measures on economic activity, suicide rates, and abuse rates.
