LIV Lecture 03-26 @CSSB

Prof. Miguel Arenas: Substitution models of protein evolution: Advances and applications in viral protein evolution


Centre for Structural Systems Biology (CSSB)

Prof. Miguel Arenas Busto (Professor of Biochemistry, Genetics and Immunology at the University of Virgo, Spain)

Prof. Miguel Arenas Bustos’ research spans phylogenetics and molecular evolution, with his lab developing advanced evolutionary models that reconstruct protein evolution under structural and functional constraints. This work extends beyond understanding the evolutionary history of proteins to predicting the future evolution of viruses.
