Dr. Callum J Dickson

Callum Dickson completed his PhD at Imperial College London, working on molecular dynamics simulations of drug-membrane interactions and development of the AMBER lipid force field. In 2014, he joined the Novartis Institutes for Biomedical Research in Cambridge MA as an industrial postdoc in the Computer Aided Drug Discovery group, to continue work on membrane protein simulations, including uncoupling of structure-activity relationships from membrane binding. He is now a Principal Scientist at Novartis, working on a number of early-stage drug discovery projects, specializing in structure based design, molecular dynamics and free energy calculations.
