Shoshana Wodak is a computational biologist and an organizational leader in the field of protein-protein docking.^[1] Wodak was one of the first people to dock proteins together using a computer program.^{[2] [3]}

Wodak obtained her PhD at Columbia University. She was elected an ISCB Fellow by the International Society for Computational Biology in 2016^[4] and is one of the ISCB founders.^[5] She helped organize the Critical Assessment of Prediction of Interactions, for which she has served on the Management Group since the founding in 2002.^{[6] [7]}
