Biomedical researcher, with several years postdoctoral experience including several positions with team-leading responsibility. Especialized in Computer-aided drug design and structural bioinformatics, several collaborations established with both academia and biopharmaceutical sectors. Currently Senior Research Fellow at Uppsala University.
********************* Present Goals ******************************
- Structural modeling and molecular simulation in G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs). See GPCR-ModSim web server at http://gpcr.usc.es
- Implementation of binding free energy calculations in the pipeline of Virtual Screening and CADD.
- Application of Structural Bioinformatics and CADD in other biopharmaceutical projects, provided that a collaborations with experimental groups exist. Topics of my interest include structural and functional effects of single point mutations in human proteins (disease mutations) or pathogen proteins (resistances) as well as ligand-protein interactions, within the scope of computer aided drug design or chemical genetics projects.
Specialties: Computer aided drug design, structural bioinformatics, computational chemistry, project and team management
