Juan Salamanca Viloria

I carried out my MSc in Bioinformatics programme at the University of Copenhagen (KU) and I undertook my Master thesis project at CBL. I have a strong background in biochemistry and protein modelling.

I recently started a Post-Graduate Intership at CBL to finalize my Master Project for publication and currently applying for a PhD position.

My MSc thesis project is in the area of molecular modelling and simulations. We aim to unravel the long-range structural communication in a oncogenic mitochondrial chaperone and how it is affected by post-translational modifications using atomistic molecular simulations and graph theory. I also worked at CBL for a shorter research project focusing on enhanced sampling methods and recently developed force fields applied to different intrinsically disordered proteins involved in cell cycle regulation and with tumour-suppressor functions.
