Wecome to the Fabrizio Marinelli's website.
I am an Associate Professor of Biophysics and Data Science at the Medical College of Wisconsin, where I lead a research laboratory focused on computational biophysics.
I like theoretical chemistry and physics and since the beginning of my studies at the university of Rome, I was attracted by the function of biomolecular systems.
My main activity as a scientist is the development of new algorithms for molecular simulations and the application of theoretical and experimental methods to elucidate the molecular mechanisms of prominent biomolecules; such as membrane transporters and protein kinases.
For more information please look my research activity and my publications.
Apart from my research work I have a number of other interests:
I like music; singing, playing guitar, bass, flute, harmonica and composing songs.
I like sport; soccer, swimming, biking, running and small jogging races.
I love cooking (mainly Italian style); home made pasta, pizza, gnocchi........
Please feel free to look into this website to find more information about my activities and do not hesitate to contact me for any question (fabrizio.marinelli@gmail.com).

Latest news:
I started a new Associate Professor appointment at the Medical College of Wisconsin, with primary role in the Biophysics department. I also hold a secondary appointment in the Data Science Institute and an Adjunct senior investigator role at Versiti Blood Research Institute.
I am grateful to NHLBI/NIH for their long-term support of my research. It has been an honor and a privilege to serve such a remarkable institution as a Staff Scientist and to be a mentor for outstanding postdocs and undergraduate trainees.
My work on the transport mechanism of the Na+/Ca2+ exchanger is now published in PNAS, link
