David Ramírez is an Assistant Professor in the Health Sciences Faculty at Universidad Autónoma
de Chile and is associated with the Institute of Biomedical Sciences. He is also a young
researcher from the Center for Bioinformatics and Molecular Simulation of Universidad de Talca.
His research interests include computational biophysics of membrane proteins such as ion
channels, transporters and metalloproteins. He is focused in the study of membrane
protein-ligand interactions, unraveling the binding mechanisms in biological processes,
mainly by computational methods.
Alejandro Valdés Jiménez is an Academic of the Department of Bioinformatics at the University
of Talca. He is Computer Engineer and Master in Communication, Networks and Content Management.
Participates in research projects applying the Information and Communications Technology (ICT)
in areas such as Bioinformatics and Agronomy. His line of research aims at High Performance
Computing (HPC).
Ingo Dreyer is a Full Professor at the Centro de Bioinformática y Simulación Molecular (CBSM) of
the Universidad de Talca in Chile. His research interests include transport processes in plants,
biophysics of membrane proteins and the dynamics of cellular systems. He puts a strong focus on
the combination of wet-lab experiments with dry-lab (computational) approaches.

Constanza Galaz Araya is a Student of Bioinformatics Engineering from the School of Civil
Engineering in Bioinformatics of the Faculty of Engineering at Universidad de Talca. She has
worked for the Center for Bioinformatics and Molecular Simulation of the University, making early
versions of PSC-db a little time ago, and now she works on an entrepreneurship project for
an entrepreneurship academy at UC Davis (2017). Her research interests include software
development and structural bioinformatics investigation, also in the knowledge from foreign
countries and languages. She completed an internship in Japan, at Yamagata University,
during the present year (2017), on environmental development, engineering, research
and social care.
