Hans Victor Westerhoff (born 14 January 1953, Amsterdam)[1] is a Dutch biologist and biochemist who is professor of synthetic systems biology at the University of Amsterdam[6] and AstraZeneca professor of systems biology at the University of Manchester.[2] Currently he is a Chair of AstraZeneca and a director of the Manchester Centre for Integrative Systems Biology.[7][8]
Education
Westerhoff was educated at the University of Amsterdam where he was awarded a PhD in 1983 for investigations of non-equilibrium thermodynamics and the control of biological thermodynamics supervised by Karel van Dam.[1]
Research
In March 1995 Westerhoff wrote about a discovery of magainin in the African clawed frog which helps it fight against bacterias which he discovered along with his colleagues.[9] In December 1996 he and his group discovered a nitric-oxide reductase of Paracoccus denitrificans.[10] In 2000 he and Martin Bier, along with Barbara Bakker discovered that yeast cells can oscillate and merge with others in some cases because they get energized from glycolysis.[11][12] In 2013 he studied maps of human metabolism and came out with its biochemical map.[13]
