F. Javier Luque

F. Javier Luque is Professor in Physical Chemistry at the University of Barcelona, where he is leading the Computational Biology and Drug Design research team. He is also member of the Institute of Biomedicine (IBUB) and Institute of Theoretical and Computational Chemistry (IQTCUB), both pertaining to the University of Barcelona. His research is focused on the study of biomolecular systems with the aim to establish the relation between structure, dynamics and function, understanding the molecular determinants involved in molecular recognition and binding, and apply this knowledge to the design of new bioactive compounds, including the development of novel computational tools to explore the chemical space in drug discovery.
