• Dr. Pablo Vargas is currently a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Caflisch group.

    Mission Statement:

    Pablo Andrés Vargas Rosales finished his BSc in Biotechnology Engineering from the Costa Rican Institute of Technology in 2018, and in 2020 obtained a MSc of Computational Biology and Bioinformatics at the ETHZ/UZH/UniBas. Between 2021 and 2024 he completed his PhD in the Caflisch group.

    Pablo is interested in the application of computational methods for the elucidation of biological processes. This has been done by using small molecule docking into diverse proteins and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to understand processes such as protein function, small-molecule binding, conformational changes, among others.

    Besides his scientific duties, he enjoys organizing group activities and seminars. Outside of the lab he can be found by the river in summer, or reading and sewing in winter.

    Dr. Pablo Vargas has been a member of the Caflisch group from 04/2020 - current.
