Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSamuel Flores is an associate professor in bioinformatics at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, with a decade of cross-disciplinary research spanning physics, engineering, and computational biology. He authored MacroMoleculeBuilder, a versatile multiscale molecular modeling tool that enabled the largest-scale all-atom ribosomal trajectory to date and supports predicting mutation effects on protein–protein interactions. He applies these methods to advance computer-aided engineering of biologics and antibody design, including a FoldX-based web server that broadens binding-energy calculations by searching for similar PDB structures (biodesign.scilifelab.se). He also offers on-premises deployment for industry clients behind firewalls to meet licensing needs. In parallel, he leads education initiatives as Dean of Students for the Swedish National Graduate School in Medical Bioinformatics at Stockholm University and as Dean of Students at MedBioInfo, shaping the next generation of researchers. With a PhD in Physics from Yale, a postdoc in bioengineering at Stanford, and leadership roles across Uppsala, Stockholm, and Stanford, he brings a rare blend of rigorous theory and translational biology to his work.
