Gianni De Fabritiis

Universitat Pompeu Fabra (UPF)

Experimental Sciences & Mathematics

I hold a degree in applied mathematics from University of Bologna and a PhD in computational chemistry from University of London.  Currently, I am heading the computational biophysics laboratory at Universitat Pompeu Fabra, associate Professor at the master of bioinformatics and I am co-founder and scientific advisor of Acellera Ltd.


Research interests

My group research interests are broadly in computing and biomedicine. Specifically, we develop new computational methods and algorithms, we apply them to simulate and understand biological data and we design molecules with therapeutic applications in mind.
