Dr. Alexander M. Andrianov

A Principal Researcher at the Institute of Bioorganic Chemistry of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus, he has authored over 300 scientific publications.

Between 1981 and 1991, he pioneered the theory of conformational analysis for peptides and proteins and developed the algorithms and software to reconstruct their 3D structures from experimental data. He co-authored an original NMR-based protein-modeling method whose code is registered with the BSSR Fund of Algorithms and Programs and is used by research centers across the CIS and beyond.

Since 1992, he’s applied these computational tools to dissect key functional domains of HIV envelope proteins and to guide the design of new anti-HIV therapeutics.

His contributions have been widely recognized:

• 1988 winner of the Belarus Academy of Sciences competition on automating scientific research

• 1992 second-prize laureate of the World Association for Theoretical Organic Chemistry (WATOC)

• 2012 recipient of the personal Presidential Premium for outstanding socio-economic impact

• His molecular modeling of potential anti-HIV drugs ranked among NASB’s top 10 scientific achievements in both 2012 and 2015.

• 2017 and 2024 National Academy of Sciences of Belarus Award winner
