Biography
Werner Treptow is a Professor of Computational Molecular Biophysics at the Universidade de Brasília. He holds a B.S. in Biology (1998) and a Ph.D. in Molecular Biology (2003) from the Universidade de Brasília, as well as a Ph.D. in Theoretical and Computational Chemistry from the Université Henri Poincaré (2004). He completed postdoctoral training with Prof. Mounir Tarek in France and Prof. Michael L. Klein at the University of Pennsylvania. Since joining UnB in 2009, his research has focused on the structure, function, and regulation of membrane proteins, alongside the training of graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. He has held visiting professor positions at Temple University (2012–2013) and the University of Chicago (2021–2023), contributed extensively as a journal reviewer, and currently serves as an Associate Editor at Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience.
