Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAntónio Ribeiro is a postdoctoral fellow at EMBL-EBI with 14 years of research experience probing how enzymes evolve new chemistries and substrate specificities. Trained in biochemistry and computational chemistry (PhD, Universidade do Porto), he combines theoretical and computational approaches developed during postdocs and visiting roles across Europe and Singapore to dissect enzyme mechanism and evolution. His work sits at the interface of structural bioinformatics and mechanistic enzymology, bringing quantitative modeling to questions typically addressed by experiment. Unusually for a bioinformatics-focused researcher, he also holds an MSc in Finance, which complements his academic toolkit with a strong quantitative and analytical mindset. Based in Cambridge, he leverages international collaborations and long-term group continuity to drive deep, evolutionary perspectives on enzyme function.
