About Me
My name is Pablo Ricardo Arantes, I am a research scientist at the University of California Riverside, working in the field of biophysics (Palermo Lab). I hold extensive expertise in computational biophysics and knowledge in state‐ of‐the‐art computational methods that have been proven instrumental in delving deep into biological function.
My research at the University of California focuses on molecular simulations of emerging genome editing technologies based on the CRISPR‐Cas9 system that received the Nobel Prize of Chemistry 2020.
In 2021, I have worked on the first user‐friendly front‐end for running molecular dynamics (MD) simulations using the OpenMM toolkit on the Google Colab framework (Making it rain). An affordable (cost‐free) strategy for performing molecular dynamics simulations using cloud computing resources. It involves shareable, ready‐to‐use, customizable Jupyter notebooks that guide the end‐user in running their calculations using Google Colab services.
My current collaboration network includes biochemists, bioinfomaticians, and structural biologists from Brazil, Uruguay, England, Spain, Australia and USA.
