Congratulations to CCB Distinguished Professor Emeritus David Case, who has just been elected to the National Academy of Sciences!
This recognition reflects his groundbreaking and sustained contributions to the fields of computational chemistry and structural biology.
Dave is internationally known for his role in the development of the AMBER molecular dynamics software, a foundational tool used by researchers worldwide to model the structure and dynamics of biomolecules. His work has advanced the theoretical understanding of electrostatics, solvation, and molecular interactions, and has enabled critical insights into the behavior of proteins, nucleic acids, and other complex biological systems. Through decades of scientific leadership, Dave has helped define the computational standards by which biomolecular simulations are conducted today.
This is a significant and well-earned recognition of Dave’s impact on the field.
