Antonia Mey

Dr Antonia Mey is a Senior Lecturer and Chancellor’s Fellow at The University of Edinburgh, Department of Chemistry. Her research focuses on generative modelling and machine learning, computer-aided drug discovery, protein dynamics, computational chemistry, and antimicrobial resistance. She leads the computational biophysics group, which integrates chemistry, physics, biology, and computing to address challenges in biomolecular modelling. The group's work includes the study of metalloenzymes in antibiotic resistance and the development of computational tools for predictive modelling of dynamics, interactions, and catalysis. Dr Mey's research is primarily applied to tackle antimicrobial resistance challenges.

Antonia S J S Mey is a Senior Lecturer at the University of Edinburgh, specializing in computational biophysics and molecular simulation. Her research focuses on developing and applying advanced computational methods to study molecular dynamics, free energy calculations, and ligand-binding interactions. Mey's work includes the development of software tools such as EMMA and BioSimSpace, which are used for Markov model building, thermodynamic state analysis, and biomolecular simulation. Her research also explores the integration of machine learning with alchemical free energy methods to improve the accuracy of binding affinity predictions. Mey's contributions span the analysis of protein-ligand interactions, the elucidation of nonadditive effects in binding energies, and the application of dynamic profiling to viral proteases.
