Arménio Barbosa, PhD

Dr. Arménio Barbosa holds a PhD in Multiscale Modeling from the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia (Unimore) (IT) and a Biochemistry Degree from University of Porto (PT). Dr. Barbosa is currently a Researcher in Computational Chemistry at the NOVA School of Science and Technology (NOVA). He held three postdoctoral research positions at Unimore, IT , University of Bologna, IT (2011-2014) and at NOVA-SST (2015-2018). Dr. Barbosa research interests are on protein modeling and the discovery of ligands for biotechnology applications. He is currently conducting research in modeling protein molecules for gas sensing, discovery of marine natural compounds for pharmaceutical and biotechnology applications, new affinity molecules for bioprocesses and modeling of biomaterials. He is familiar with a wide range of modeling software to perform atomistic and coarse-grain simulations, homology modeling, ab initio protein modeling, structure/ligand-based molecular design, high-throughput virtual screening, molecular libraries, and enzyme design.
