Arnau Cordomí
Coordinator
PhD in Chemical Engineering (UPC)
Bachelor’s Degree in Chemical Sciences (UB)
Bioinformatics academic coordinator and lecturer, Arnau Cordomí has a PhD in Polymers and Biopolymers (2008) and a Bachelor’s Degree in Chemical Sciences (2001). His research falls within the field of structural bioinformatics and focuses on the study of membrane proteins in general and G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) in particular. This superfamily of membrane proteins plays a key role in cell communication and includes leading drug targets. He uses computational tools within the framework of structural bioinformatics to make predictions on how proteins work at cell level. He has participated in research projects funded by a range of public and private institutions and has written over 60 papers in indexed journals.
