Warshel Institute

 for Computational Biology

The Institute is the first Nobel Laureate Lab established in Chinese University of Hong Kong (Shenzhen), one of the important parts for Shenzhen "Top Ten Action Plan". The Institute is headed by Prof. Arieh Warshel, the Nobel laureate in Chemistry in 2013.

Warshel Institute at CUHK(SZ)

The institute is intended to become one of the world’s most advanced computational biology centers, conducting research on cutting-edge biotechnologies (structural biology, molecular medicine, multi-scale biomolecule simulations, high-throughput Genome Sequencing analysis and translational research of gene diagnosis technology). Professor Warshel wishes to turn this institute into a platform where top researchers from around the world can collaborate and contribute.

Distinguished Professor of Chemistry and Biochemistry and holds the Dana and David Dornsife Chair in Chemistry at the University of Southern California. He has become a distinguished professor by The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen since September 2014.

Prof. Warshel has been awarded the 2013 Nobel Prize in Chemistry; he is a Member of the USA National Academy of Sciences and an honorary member of the Royal Society of Chemistry. He also received numerous awards, including the Tolman Medal in 2003, the RSC 2012 Soft Matter and Biophysical Chemistry Award, and the 2014 Founders Award of the Biophysical Society.

The Chinese University of Hong Kong , SZ

The University is located in Shenzhen, China and has inherited the educational philosophy and academic systems of The Chinese University of Hong Kong. It is intended to evolve into a world-class research university that demonstrates a strong Chinese cultural influence. It is committed to nurturing top-notch talents with a global perspective, Chinese heritage, and a sense of social responsibility.
