Minos-Timotheos Matsoukas
Background
I earned my PhD in Medicinal Chemistry from the University of Patras and completed postdoctoral training in computational chemistry at the Autonomous University of Barcelona, currently serving an Assistant Professor at the University of West Attica in Athens, where I lead the Computational Drug Design and AI research group.
My expertise lies at the intersection of computational chemistry and biology, with a focus on machine learning and artificial intelligence for drug discovery. In particular, I specialize in virtual screening of chemical libraries to identify novel bioactive compounds and in studying the dynamics of transmembrane proteins through structural biology data. Alongside my academic work, I have been actively involved in the pharmaceutical industry through innovative startups and collaborations, serving as a project manager and scientific advisor in drug discovery programs. My vision is to help transform drug discovery by harnessing AI and big data, accelerating the design of new therapeutics and bringing them closer to clinical and commercial applications.
