Luis Ángel Rodríguez Lumbreras

I am Luis Ángel Rodríguez Lumbreras, PhD. I earned my Licentiate degree in Biochemistry from the University of Seville in 2013, a Master’s in Bioinformatics for Health Sciences from Pompeu Fabra University in 2015, and a PhD in Biomedicine, specializing in Bioinformatics, from the University of Barcelona in 2023.

I began my research career at the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the University of Seville, where I studied the biochemical and biological properties of soil. I later joined the Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC) as a research student, focusing on protein modeling and the development of computational tools for predicting protein-protein and protein-DNA interactions. During this time, I contributed to the development of pyDockDNA.

Since 2019, I have been part of the Institute of Grapevine and Wine Sciences (ICVV), where I currently work as a postdoctoral researcher in the group led by Juan Fernández-Recio. My research focuses on structural bioinformatics and molecular modeling of protein complexes using artificial intelligence methods, with applications in both health and viticulture biotechnology.

I have participated in international initiatives such as CAPRI and CASP, and have published several articles in leading scientific journals. I am also the recipient of the BBVA-SEBBM Young Investigator Award and have contributed to the organization of scientific and educational events in bioinformatics.

Note: at the ICVV until October 2025. Since September 2025, Bioinformatics Technician and Researcher at the Instituto de Investigación en Ciencias de la Alimentación (CIAL, CSIC-UAM), where he is setting up and managing the CIAL Bioinformatics Service.
