Biography

Dr Albert Ardevol is team leader in the Protein and Molecular Modelling team. His main area of expertise is in protein modelling, computational enzymology and drug design. He combines computational and experimental approaches to deliver solutions in protein engineering and drug design.

As a modeller, he works in modelling therapeutic proteins and antibodies , membrane proteins, and engineering new enzymes for biotechnological applications. He provides computational support for hit-to-lead optimization, virtual docking and high-throughput virtual screening. He has background in methods development and application to multidisciplinary projects.

Albert's aim is to combine the best modelling and experimental forces to make an real impact that benefits society and that increases our scientific knowledge.
