Summary
Paulo Martel is an Assistant Professor and theoretical biochemist/biophysicist with two decades of expertise in biomolecular simulation, specializing in protein modelling, electrostatics and molecular dynamics for biomedical applications. He develops new methods and software for constant-pH MD and applies computational approaches to protein–ligand interactions in cytochromes P450, combining MD, QM calculations, docking and electrostatic analyses. Based in Faro, Portugal, he has a strong academic track record that spans teaching bioinformatics, structural biochemistry and enzymology while directing a molecular biomedicine center. Known for bridging method development with practical biological problems, he brings both programming/management skills and a background in molecular evolution and phylogeny to multidisciplinary teams. An early adopter of computational modeling approaches, his work reflects a rare blend of theoretical rigor and applied focus on enzymes relevant to pharmacology.
