Marco Cecchini started his career in Bologna (Italy) in the fall of 2000 after finishing his undergraduate studies in Chemistry. Since then, he had contributed to several research areas ranging from virtual screening for drug discovery to the investigation of energy transduction in motor proteins. During that time, the developments he introduced, as well as their application to problems of wide scientific interest, have proven to be important in addressing fundamental questions in Chemistry and Molecular Biology to provide a chemistry-based understanding of phenomena. In September 2010, he joined ISIS to build up a team and lead the Laboratoire d’Ingénierie des Fonctions Moléculaires (IFM).
