Chris Sander is a

Memorial Sloan–Kettering Cancer Center in New York City.[7][8][9][10][11][12][13] In 2015, he moved his lab to the Dana–Farber Cancer Institute[14] and the Cell Biology Department at Harvard Medical School.[15]

Education

Sander originally trained as a physicist, receiving his undergraduate degree from the

PhD degree in theoretical physics from the State University of New York in 1975. His thesis was titled Analytic properties of bound state wave functions.[17]

Research

Sander credits his move from theoretical physics to computational biology to

secondary structure to the amino acids of a protein, given the atomic-resolution coordinates of that protein.[20]

Sander was a founder of the biocomputing program at the

Millennium Pharmaceuticals and has been an advisor to IBM's Deep Computing Initiative, which produced the Deep Blue chess computer.[21]

Awards and honours

Sander is a former Executive Editor for the journal Bioinformatics. In 2014 he was appointed one of the first Honorary Editors of Bioinformatics.[22]

Sander was awarded the

ISCB Accomplishment by a Senior Scientist Award in 2010.[16] He was awarded the 2018 DeLano Award for Computational Biosciences.[23]

Personal life

Sander is the brother of German actor Otto Sander.[24]
