Angel Piñeiro Guillén

Angel Piñeiro Guillén is a Professor at the University of Santiago de Compostela, affiliated with the Department of Applied Physics within the Higher Polytechnic School of Engineering. His research focuses on supramolecular systems, nanobiomimetics, and molecular biophysics, with active involvement in the SupraNanoBioMol research group. He earned his doctorate from the University of Santiago de Compostela in 2001 with a thesis on thermophysical models in liquid mixtures.

His research interests span cyclodextrin chemistry, membrane dynamics, molecular simulations, and drug design. Key contributions include the development of computational tools like the AFFINImeter software for molecular recognition analysis, and the CYCLOPEp Builder platform for cyclic peptide research. He has also explored post-COVID-19 pathophysiology, lipidomics, and the application of quantum computing to biophysical simulations.

His articles emphasize interdisciplinary approaches, combining experimental biophysics with computational modeling. Recent work addresses drug delivery systems, peptide-membrane interactions, and therapeutic strategies against atherosclerosis using cyclodextrin dimers. His publications also highlight innovations in AI-driven drug design and data-driven biomolecular analysis through platforms like the Overlay databank.

Prof. Piñeiro Guillén collaborates with multiple research groups, including the Group of Soft Matter and Molecular Biophysics (MBBM) and the Group of Biophysics and Interfaces (GBI). His lab's work bridges fundamental science and translational applications, aiming to advance targeted therapies and diagnostic tools.
