Summary
👤
SeniorRafael Najmanovich is a Montreal-based Full Professor of Computational, Structural & Systems Pharmacology at Université de Montréal, Faculty of Medicine, leading research at the intersection of bioinformatics, structural biology, and systems pharmacology. His work centers on ligand–protein interactions, docking, molecular recognition, and family-wide structural analyses, with therapeutic focus across Type 2 Diabetes (GPCRs and metabolic network modelling), Triple Negative Breast Cancer (human protein kinases), C. difficile proteases, TTSPs, sulfotransferases, histone methyltransferases, and RNA targets like riboswitches. Over the past decade he has integrated computational biology with pharmacology to model metabolic networks and protein interactions in drug discovery. He serves as an academic editor for PLOS Computational Biology, F1000Research, PeerJ, and PLoS ONE, influencing publications in computational biology and bioinformatics. Based in Montreal, he collaborates across medicine and biology and mentors the next generation of scientists. His profile reflects a rare blend of deep theoretical insight and practical application in systems pharmacology, bridging data-intensive methods with translational impact.
