Bonvin’s computer models provide an insight into the various processes that take place within the body, in minute detail. In this way, his research is the start of a chain process which enables the targeted development of new medications. As the coordinator of the European WeNMR project (worldwide e-Infrastructure for NMR and structural biology), Bonvin also ensures that the latest computer models and technologies are made available to fellow researchers around the world. In this way, his fundamental research makes an important contribution to applied science.
