Dr. Pablo Ricardo Arantes

My name is Pablo Ricardo Arantes, and I am a research scientist at the University of California Riverside, working in the field of biophysics (https://palermolab.com/people/). My research at the University of California focuses on molecular simulations of emerging genome editing technologies based on the CRISPR-Cas systems that was recently felicitated by the Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2020. To help understand of these technologies, I have recently published the first computational study of the CRISPR-Cas12 system (https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.10...). I hold extensive expertise in computational biophysics and knowledge in state-of-art computational methods that have been proven instrumental in delving deep into biological function. During my PhD in Cell and Molecular Biology, I worked with different glycoproteins and glycoconjugates (Arantes et al., 2014), such as Antithrombin (Arantes et al., 2017). Also during my PhD, I worked in a project that developed a new parameter set for MD simulations of chalcones and flavonoids (Arantes et al., 2019) main scaffolds under GROMOS force field.
