Dr. Rodolfo Daniel Ávila Avilés is a postdoctoral researcher at the Sustainable Chemistry Research Joint Center (CCIQS) UAEMex-UNAM. He also serves as a research leader at the Transdisciplinary Research for Drug Discovery Lab & Studio (SMEYMER). Dr. Ávila Avilés holds two doctorates, one in Materials Science (UAEMex) and one in Genetics and Molecular Biology (CINVESTAV-IPN).His research integrates these fields, focusing on computational chemistry, materials science, molecular biology and bioinformatics to develop new therapeutic strategies. His expertise covers Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations, molecular dynamics of simulation, and virtual screening of small molecules. He also applies these computational methods and experimental approaches to design nanomaterials for neuronal and muscle cell differentiation and regeneration.

Collection Overview

The development of novel therapeutic strategies is often hindered by the high cost and failure rates of traditional experimental pipelines. Computational methods have become indispensable, offering a rapid and cost-effective pathway to identify new therapeutic targets, screen candidates, predict interactions, and understand complex biological mechanisms in silico.


The aim of this Methods Collection is to assemble and visualize cutting-edge computational protocols used in modern therapeutic design. We will feature a range of techniques, starting from bioinformatics pipelines for target identification, followed by molecular dynamics simulations, Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations for both small molecules and nanomaterials, and advanced docking protocols. This collection will serve as a vital, practical resource, enabling researchers to replicate and apply these powerful, multi-scale computational approaches to accelerate the discovery of novel therapeutic targets and the development of new interventions.
