I am Martín Soñora, P.hD., currently working as a Researcher at the Biomolecular Simulation Group at the Institut Pasteur de Montevideo, Uruguay. From the beginning of my academic journey, I have studied viruses as biological models. My academic background is rooted in a degree in Biochemistry, followed by a master's degree in Bioinformatics, and culminating in a PhD in Biology with a specialization in Computational Biology, specifically focusing on molecular dynamics simulation of flaviviral particles. I consider myself as a virus lover and have been the driving force to help in the development of a new research line called Physical and Computational Virology. Within this area, I explore the physical interactions of viral particles and their properties to understand how viruses evade antibody interactions, aiming to develop better strategies for vaccine development. Furthermore, my expertise in molecular virology has led me to merge in-silico studies with wet lab experiments. One of my future goals is to utilize infectious clones to generate viral mutants and experimentally validate my computational findings on the bench. Through my work, I strive to bridge the gap between computational predictions and experimental validations, ultimately contributing to advancements in the understanding of viral dynamics and the development of effective antibody and antiviral strategies.
