Brief Description of Research Interest :
|
|
Daniel Almonacid received his bachelor degree in Clinical Biochemistry from Universidad de Concepción in his native country Chile, and then a Doctorate in Molecular Informatics from the University of Cambridge in the UK. Daniel is currently a postdoctoral scholar at the department of Bioengineering and Therapeutic Sciences at the University of California San Francisco (UCSF) where his research focuses on computational studies of the evolution of enzyme catalysis. Outside the laboratory, Daniel acts as the International Adjunct Director on the west coast of the USA for RedCiencia, the largest Latin American scientific web-based collaboration platform. Daniel has also served as treasurer and is the current vice-president of the Postdoctoral Scholars Association at UCSF. Daniel is also an active member of the International Society for Computational Biology where he served as program chair for the first Latin American regional meeting of the society.
