Vilde Leipart is a postdoctoral researcher at the Norwegian University of Life Sciences (NMBU) and is currently hosted by the Honig Lab. She earned her Ph.D. from NMBU in 2022, titled “Understanding the structure–function relationship of honey bee Vitellogenin”. Her doctoral work combined computational and experimental approaches to study protein structure-function relationships, focusing on Vitellogenin (Vg) in honey bees. She contributed to the structural characterization of Vg, including the first full-length structure prediction, the zinc-binding, and analyses of naturally occurring protein variants in honey bee subspecies. As part of her postdoctoral work, she conducted research with the Orengo and Fraternali labs at University College London before joining the Honig Lab. Her current work uses protein structure prediction and bioinformatics to study protein-ligand interactions with Vg ligands, such as lipids and DNA, and to predict protein-protein interactions across insect proteomes.
