Lecture: «Understanding ligand binding and receptor selectivity through molecular simulations»
Prof. Hugo Gutiérrez de Terán (Dpto of Cell and Molecular Biology, Computational Biology and Bioinformatics, Uppsala University (Sweden))
Aula de Seminarios del CiQUS - 12:15 h
Hugo Gutiérrez de Terán received his Ph.D. at UPB (Barcelona, Spain) in 2004, followed by a postdoctoral period at Uppsala University with Johan Åqvist (2004-2006). In 2008, he became head of the Structural Bioinformatics and Drug Design Unit at the University Hospital of Santiago de Compostela (Spain), that he was running until 2013 when he moved back to Uppsala University. He was also visiting scientist at The Script Research Institute (2012).
Main lines of research
His major research interests are the structural characterization and ligand design of G-protein coupled receptors and the applications of free energy calculations in computer-aided drug design, subjects in which he has co-authored more than 40 scientific publications
