Prof. Javier Sancho

Prof. Dr. Javier Sancho is a Professor of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the University of Zaragoza and researcher at the Institute of Biocomputation and Physics of Complex Systems (BIFI) of the same University. He received his BSc and PhD degrees in Chemistry from the University of Zaragoza in 1984 and 1988, respectively, and completed a postdoctoral stay at the Center for Protein Engineering at the University of Cambridge (UK) from 1989 to 1991. He is interested in developing reliable methods for rational protein stabilization and in discovering and developing antimicrobials and pharmacological chaperones. He is particularly interested in the development of reliable methods for the computational prediction of phenotypes caused by single nucleotide mutations and in the calculation of thermodynamic quantities of protein folding equilibrium from computational simulations.
