Biographical sketch

Axel Bidon-Chanal studied Chemistry in the University of Barcelona and recieved his BSC 2002. That same year he joined the Computational Biology and Drug Design group under the direction of F. Javier Luque in the department of Physical Chemistry at the Faculty of Pharmacy of Barcelona where in 2003 started his PhD under the supervision of F. Javier Luque and Modesto Orozco. In 2008 he recieved his PhD after the defense of the thesis entitled Comprehensive study of ligand diffusion and bindingin proteins. In 2010 he joined the EDAM group and dircted his research towards the study membrane proteins. Besides his scientific carrer he has been associate professor from the Physical Chemistry Department of the Faculty of Pharmacy in the University of Barcelona since 2002.

Research areas
Modeling of protein-membrane interaction, free-energy calculations in biological systems, drug design.
