.Sergey Samsonov graduated in Biophysics at Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University in 2006. He obtained his first PhD in 2009 in Bioinformatics at the Dresden University of Technology, where he investigated the impact of solvent and effects of fluorination in protein-protein interactions. In 2010 he obtained his second PhD title in the field of Biochemistry at St. Petersburg University for the continuation of his Master Thesis topic on copper metabolism proteins. Since then and until 2017 he was a postdoctoral researcher in the group of Structural Bioinformatics at Dresden University of Technology within the project “Transregio 67: Functional biomaterials for controlling healing processes in bone and skin tissue – from material to clinic”, where he started to work in the field of modelling glycosaminoglycans (GAG) containing biomolecular systems. In 2017 he received a joint grant from National Centre of Sciences (Poland) and EU Commission within POLONEZ Programme to start his own research group at the University of Gdańsk. In 2018 he obtained the title of dr hab. at the University of Tours (France) (Habilitation à diriger des recherches). In 2019, he received two new grants from National Centre of Sciences (Poland), one of which is within collaborative Programme with German Research Council, both of which represent the extension of his GAG modeling studies. His research interests are in approaching the understanding of various aspects of GAG interactions with other biomacromolecules and development of specific methodology for this class of polysaccharides with the assistance of molecular docking, molecular dynamics, free energy calculations and quantum chemistry approaches.
