Juan Mobarec PhD

Juan Carlos Mobarec, Ph.D., is head of computational structural biology at AstraZeneca in Cambridge, England. He leads a team of highly skilled computational scientists driving the in silico design of investigative molecules for targets across multiple therapeutic areas. His industry experience covers the assembly of highly-efficient teams, the establishment of external collaborations, molecular drug design with AI, large-scale computer simulations, large-scale virtual screening, protein/antibody design, and molecular modelling with physics and data-driven approaches (ML/AI), having a proven track record of working with innovative and emerging technologies. He has held senior research positions at BenevolentAI, Heptares, and the University of Essex. Juan Carlos earned his Ph.D. in Computational Biology in an NSF-sponsored interdisciplinary doctoral program between the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and the Courant Institute of New York University in the USA. He has published numerous computational cross-collaborative articles in high-impact peer-reviewed journals.
