Associate Professor In Bioinformatics (Universitetslektor I Bioinformatik)
Uppsala, Sweden
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSamuel Flores is an associate professor in bioinformatics with 11+ years of experience building computational tools for structural biology and protein engineering. He is the author of MacroMoleculeBuilder, a multiscale molecular modeling program used to produce the largest all-atom ribosomal trajectory to date and to predict mutation-driven changes in protein–protein affinity for biologics design. Samuel combines academic leadership—serving as dean of students for national bioinformatics programs—with hands-on software development, including a web server that runs FoldX across multiple similar PDB structures to improve binding-change estimates. Trained in physics (PhD, Yale) and bioengineering (postdoc, Stanford), he blends rigorous quantitative modeling with practical, industry-facing solutions and can deliver deployable servers for secure, on-premise use. An unconventional strength is his ability to scale atomistic modeling workflows from fundamental ribosome dynamics to commercial antibody affinity prediction.
