Biography
Lucas Auclair obtained a dual degree in Life Sciences and Computer Science from Université Paris-Saclay, followed by a Master's degree in Bioinformatics, specializing in In Silico Drug Design: Macromolecular Modeling, from Université Paris Cité (graduating top of the class). During his Master's studies, he completed two research internships. The first focused on the modeling and molecular dynamics simulations of a complex transmembrane protein, the Myeloproliferative Leukemia Protein (MPL), within the Integrated Biology of Red Blood Cells and Erythropoiesis laboratory – DSIMB team (Dynamics of Structures and Interactions of Macromolecules in Biology).The second internship focused on the computational investigation of the molecular mechanism underlying the allosteric activation of the ribonuclease EndoU by calcium ions, at the Laboratoire de Biochimie Théorique – Institut de Biologie Physico-Chimique. He is currently pursuing a PhD under the supervision of Nicolas FLOQUET and Maxime LOUET, on the topic: "Contributions of Molecular Dynamics to the In Silico Design of Peptides/Mini-Proteins Targeting G Protein-Coupled Receptors (GPCRs)."
