Nominator's project description

Professor Rosta is well known internationally for her outstanding research in molecular modelling of enzyme catalysis and biomolecular dynamics. She has made important contributions to understand reaction mechanisms and free-energy landscapes in enzymatic processes, combining theory, computation and data-driven approaches. During her stay in Germany, she will extend this work to neuronal G-protein coupled receptor signaling mechanisms, linking receptor dynamics with neuro-active drug discovery applications.
