D. E. Shaw Research (DESRES) is a privately held biochemistry research company based inNew York City. Under the scientific direction ofDavid E. Shaw, the group's chief scientist, D. E. Shaw Research develops technologies formolecular dynamics simulations (includingAnton,[1][2] a massively parallel special-purpose supercomputer, andDesmond,[3] a software package for use on conventional computers andcomputer clusters) and applies such simulations to basic scientific research in structural biology and biochemistry, and to the process of computer-aided drug design.
This interdisciplinary laboratory is composed of members with backgrounds in chemistry, biology, hardware engineering and design, computer science, or applied mathematics. In addition to its main New York facility, D. E. Shaw Research has offices inDurham, North Carolina andHyderabad, India.
