    Summary

    Professor of Biophysics, Bioinformatics and Drug Design at the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio Grande do Sul-Brazil. Regional Editor for Current Drug Target and guest editor for Current Medicinal Chemistry. My research is focused on biologically inspired models of computing, also known as bio-inspired computing. I also study the problem of protein-ligand interactions, using bioinformatics methodologies such as molecular docking simulations, QSAR, and molecular dynamics.
