Short Bio:

Luis Ángel Rodríguez Lumbreras, PhD, earned his Licentiate degree in Biochemistry from the University of Seville in 2013, a Master’s in Bioinformatics for Health Sciences from Pompeu Fabra University in 2015, and his PhD in Biomedicine (specializing in Bioinformatics) from the University of Barcelona in 2023. He began his research career at the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the University of Seville, focusing on the biochemical and biological properties of soil. He later joined the Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC) as a research student, where he specialized in protein modeling and the development of computational tools for predicting protein-protein and protein-DNA interactions, contributing to the development of pyDockDNA.

Since 2019, he has been part of the Institute of Grapevine and Wine Sciences (ICVV), currently working as a postdoctoral researcher in the group led by Juan Fernández-Recio. His research focuses on structural bioinformatics and molecular modeling of protein complexes using artificial intelligence methods, with applications in health and viticulture biotechnology. He has participated in international initiatives such as CAPRI and CASP, and has published multiple articles in leading scientific journals. He is also the recipient of the BBVA-SEBBM Young Investigator Award and has contributed to the organization of scientific and educational events in bioinformatics.
