Dr Daniel Adriano Silva Manzano | Senior Research Fellow
University Of Washington | United States

My academic foundation is in Biomedical Research, since my PhD (National University of Mexico) I have focused on the computational modeling of protein folding and function. I completed my first postdoc at the Hong Kong University of Science and technology under the supervision of Professor Xuhui Huang, where I researched long timescale dynamics of RNA Polymerase II using Molecular Dynamics and Markov State Models.  Afterwards I transitioned to Professor's David Baker Group (University of Washington) where my focus has been engineering novel protein-protein interfaces which can be used as therapeutic drugs, biosensors and molecular switches. My work involves development of theoretical/computational frameworks for protein design as well as its experimental validation.My academic foundation is in Biomedical Research, since my PhD (National University of Mexico) I have focused on the computational modeling of protein folding and function.
