Biography
Maxime Louet focused his research on the activation mechanisms of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) during his PhD. thesis, which he defended in 2012 at the University of Montpellier. He then joined the Institute for Theoretical Studies in Heidelberg, Germany, for a post-doctorate focused on developing a method for deciphering allosteric signals from biomolecular systems simulated by molecular dynamics. He then joined INSERM (U973) in Paris for a second post-doctorate under the supervision of Bruno Villoutreix, where he studied protein-drug interactions through the ClCKb chloride channel and cytochrome P450 2C9. Maxime Louet finally joined the University of Montpellier and IBMM in 2017 as an assistant professor, where he develop molecular modeling research applied on G-protein-coupled receptors and their partners. He is also involved in many different medicinal-chemistry projects for drug design. His teaching activities at Montpellier's Faculty of Pharmacy, Faculty of Science and the Montpellier School of Chemistry cover physical chemistry and molecular modeling.
