CONGRATULATIONS TO PROFESSOR Daniel Bojar FOR RECEIVING THE DAVID Y.GIN AWARD!
For pioneering the integration of artificial intelligence and computational chemistry in the glycosciences, developing state-of-the-art methods for protein-carbohydrate binding predictions, and advancing structural elucidation of oligosaccharides through mass spectrometry.
Dr. Daniel Bojar is an associate professor in bioinformatics at the Wallenberg Centre for Molecular and Translational Medicine & the Department of Chemistry and Molecular Biology at the University of Gothenburg in Sweden, focusing on machine learning and data science in the field of glycobiology. He obtained his PhD in mammalian synthetic biology at ETH Zurich and continued his postdoctoral training in computational biology at MIT & Harvard University. His group develops and applies methods to discover sequence-to-function associations and biological roles of glycans via a plethora of approaches. Daniel was awarded a Branco Weiss Fellowship – Society in Science, as well as an ERC Starting Grant, and was recognized as a “Rising Star” by the journal Advanced Science. He was also featured on the 2022 Forbes 30 Under 30 Europe list for work in Science & Healthcare.
