Rafael Gozalbes Botella

Biography

Rafael Gozalbes holds a PhD in Physical Chemistry from the University of Valencia, Spain (1998). After a post-doctoral position at the "Groupe de Chimie Informatique et Modélisation" (ITODYS) and Faculté de Médecine, both at the Université Paris VII, he spent seven years as senior scientist at the Modelling group of CEREP, a biotech company, in France. Since 2007 he is scientific collaborator at the Structural Biochemistry Laboratory of the Centro de Investigación Príncipe Felipe (Valencia, Spain). Dr. Gozalbes is a computational chemist with expertise in the application of in silico approaches to drug discovery, and in particular the development of QSAR multivariate models, docking and study of protein-ligand interactions, design of virtual target-focused and diverse chemical libraries, pharmacophore hypotheses generation and virtual screening for selection of hit candidates. He has published more than 20 scientific papers and two book chapters, and collaborates regularly as a scientific reviewer of several computational and medicinal chemistry journals.
