Florence Tama

Florence Tama completed her doctoral studies in Computational Biophysics at the University of Paul Sabatier in Toulouse, France, before embarking on a postdoctoral research position at The Scripps Research Institute, USA. Presently, she is a Professor of Physics and a principal investigator at the Institute for Transformative Biomolecules at Nagoya University, Japan. Concurrently, she is a team leader at the RIKEN Center for Computational Science in Kobe, Japan. Her research endeavors employ computational methodologies to study functions of biomolecules involved in diseases to unravel their functional mechanisms for paving the way for novel therapeutic solutions. Specifically, Dr. Tama is developing novel computational approaches aimed at solving the three-dimensional structures and dynamic behaviors of biomolecules, leveraging cutting-edge high-performance computing technologies. Furthermore, she engages in active collaboration with experimental groups to elucidate the functions of these biomolecules. Such synergistic integration of computational and experimental data is increasingly pivotal in addressing complex biological questions.
