Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolArina Afanaseva is a Senior Associate and PhD-trained biophysicist based in Japan with nine years of experience applying molecular modelling, molecular dynamics, and bioinformatics to protein structure, hydration dynamics, and drug design. She has led target-prioritized inhibitor development at Astellas Pharma and NI-BIO, combining novel methods for tracking lytic water dynamics with fragment-based docking to probe selective inhibitors. Her work uniquely bridges tightly-bound water/H-bond energy modelling in active sites with evolutionary analyses of intrinsically disordered proteins, revealing functional insights not obvious from sequence alone. Comfortable in both academic and industry settings, she brings a strong quantitative background from materials science through to advanced computational biophysics.
