Prof. André has a PhD in Biophysical Chemistry from Lund University. He joined the University of Washington for postdoctoral work before returning to Lund University to start his research group in 2009. He studies protein self-assembly to understand the mechanism behind the formation of large assemblies using experimental and computational methods. Large assemblies are also designed using computational protein design methods and artificial intelligence. His group also works on the design of conformational changes in proteins. Another direction is the study of codon adaptation in organisms and its effect on co-translational folding. Questions related to how protein structure has evolved are also addressed in research by the group using computational and experimental methods.
