I am passionate about chemistry, physics, biology and life sciences, but I also like computers and informatics. For this reason, I have oriented my career on computational chemistry, chemoinformatics and molecular modeling that bring together all my passions at the same time.I would also like to help in bringing new therapies that can make people's lives easier. That is why I have focused my skills on drug discovery and development.I have done scientific research both in academia and in the biotech/pharmaceutical industry.In academia I was able to investigate the enzymatic reactions involved in life processes as important as the conversion of male hormones into female hormones, and the role of the latter in the growth and development of breast cancer. From these investigations arose several papers in international peer reviewed journals.In my experience in the biotech industry (CRO) I have worked as a scientific consultant for other biotech/pharmaceutical companies located in different countries, as well as for different universities and research institutes. I have carried out molecular modeling projects (small molecules, proteins, nucleic acids and antibodies), but I have also helped clients in different stages of the drug discovery and design pipeline, using computer simulations. I have participated as a Postdoc researcher in a prestigious European Project (H2020-EU.1.2.2. - FET Proactive): "Mechano·Control, Mechanical control of biological function", during the 5-year duration of the project. In this project I have collaborated with great experts in cancer, cell biology and mechanobiology, helping to design potential drugs and therapies for the treatment of some cancers, mainly breast cancer and pancreatic cancer.I am currently training in data science and artificial intelligence, with the aim of applying this knowledge to my expertise in computational chemistry.
Listed skills include Research And Development, Amazon Web Services, Theoretical Chemistry, Linux, and 22 others.
