Jans Alzate Morales Química computacional, reactividad enzimática e ingeniería de proteínas, interacción ligando-proteína.

Jans Alzate-Morales performed his undergraduate studies, in Pharmaceutical Chemistry, at the University of Antioquia, Colombia (1995-2001). Afterwards, his doctoral studies in chemistry were conducted at the University of Chile, Chile (2002-2006), funded by a fellowship from the German Government granted through DAAD (Deutscher Akademischer Austausch Dienst).

The topic of his thesis was focused on the computational study of protein-ligand interactions in the CDK2/Cyclin system, which is directly related to cancer disease. During his PhD, he spent six months doing research in the group “Efectos del Medio”, Faculty of Physical Chemistry of the University of Valencia (Spain) and in the Department of Theory of Fritz Haber Institute of the Max Planck Society, Berlin (Germany ).

In 2007, he was inserted in the Center for Bioinformatics and Molecular Simulation (CBSM), to continue his postdoctoral studies with a scholarship for Academy Insertion granted by the Chilean Government through PBCT (Bicentennial Program of Science and Technology). In 2010 he was hired as a lecturer, in 2012 obtained a permanent position as Assistant Professor attached to CBSM, Faculty of Engineering, University of Talca and in 2014 was named Associate Professor.
