My work experience has been focus on design and functional analysis of leather and textile products and plant extracts manufacturing . I also have experience in the development of STEM thinking in children and young people.

Ph.D. student and researcher

Daniel Ruyardi is a Chemistry Ph.D. student and researcher at the Universidad de los Andes. His current research focuses on studying metalloenzymes using machine learning algorithms. He holds a Bachelor's degree in Chemistry from the Universidad Nacional de Colombia and an M.Sc. in Chemistry from the Universidad de los Andes. For his master's research, Daniel focused on discovering selective inhibitors for Drosophila melanogaster (fruit fly) Acetylcholinesterase using free energy alchemical methods.

Master student in Chemistry

Sebastian Pulido is currently a Master's student in Chemistry at Universidad de los Andes. His research focuses on designing new naphthoquinones with anticancer activity with a reduced toxicity profile, employing computational methods such as virtual screening, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, and absolute binding free energy (ABFE) calculations. He holds a Bachelor's degree in Chemistry from Universidad Pedagógica y Tecnológica de Colombia (UPTC), where he developed skills in computational and organic chemistry during his undergraduate research.

Jesús Antonio González Caraballo is a master’s student in Computational Biology at the Universidad de los Andes. His current research focuses on structural bioinformatics and computational chemistry, particularly on the virtual screening and design of potential inhibitors for key enzymes such as MAGL in the endocannabinoid system and DprE1 in Mycobacterium tuberculosis. He holds a bachelor's degree in Biology from the Universidad Pedagógica Nacional, where he developed a strong foundation in biological sciences. At Universidad de los Andes, he is part of the COBO research line, where he applies molecular modeling techniques to drug discovery. His academic interests include structure-based drug design, virtual screening, and the computational development of novel therapeutic strategies against infectious and neurological diseases.

Farid Camilo Landazuri Moreno is a Microbiology student at the University of the Andes. His thesis focuses on drug discovery against malaria. He uses computational chemistry tools such as virtual screening, docking, and molecular dynamics to identify potential inhibitors of Plasmodium falciparum GAP50 proteins. His goal is to contribute to the development of new treatments for resistance to existing

Liz Alexandra Suárez holds a degree in Natural Sciences: Physics, Chemistry, and Biology from the Universidad Surcolombiana in Neiva, Huila. She is currently in her final semester of a Master's degree in Computational Biology at the University of the Andes, where she is developing a research project entitled “Study of the interaction of glycolipids with ABC proteins as potential inhibitors in multidrug-resistant cells using computational methods.” Her work focuses on the use of computational chemistry and biology tools to address problems related to multidrug resistance, with applications in the discovery and design of new bioactive compounds. He is part of the Bio-organic Computing Group Bogotá (COBO) research group, where he has strengthened his training in molecular modeling, molecular dynamics simulation, and rational ligand design. His academic interests include drug discovery and repositioning, as well as applied research in molecular resistance mechanisms.
