The course was very good, and I found it extremely useful. In my opinion, it could be made even better by explaining some of the biology-related terms in more detail, as they may be difficult for learners with no biology background to understand. Additionally, it would be helpful to include a few more practice questions on topics such as SMILES notation, LogP values, and similar concepts. This would reinforce learning and help students better understand these important topics. Overall, the course was excellent, and I really enjoyed it.

Instructor Bio

English:

Hi, my name is Guilherme, I have a bachelor's degree in Biological Sciences, a master's degree in Experimental Biology, and a Ph.D. also in Experimental Biology, both from the Federal University of Rondônia (Brazil). I recently finished a degree in math and I'm also finishing an educationl degree in physics. My main research area is the search for compounds that are active against the parasites of malaria and leishmaniasis. I also have been programming for a while, especially in the programming languages Python and R. My main interests are biology, biotechnology, programming, medicinal chemistry, and artificial intelligence. My main goal here in Udemy is therefore spreading the knowledge related to these areas to people around the world.


Português:

Bacharel e licenciado em Ciências Biológicas pela Universidade Federal de Rondônia, mestre em Biologia Experimental pela Universidade Federal de Rondônia e  doutor também em Biologia Experimental pela Universidade Federal de Rondônia. Atualmente, estou também finalizando duas licenciaturas: em matemática e física. Desenvolveu seus trabalhos de iniciação científica e mestrado na busca de moléculas de plantas bioativas contra os parasitas da malária e leishmaniose, tendo trabalhado com fitoquímica e ensaios antiparasitários in vitro. No final do mestrado, começou a se interessar por bioinformática, química medicinal e programação, aplicando alguns programas de bioinformática e quimioinformática para auxiliar na descoberta de drogas antimaláricas. Possui experiência com as linguagens Python e R, e iniciou a programar em Javascript. Seu projeto de doutorado se constitui em avaliar um composto antimalárico já testado durante o mestrado de forma mais aprofundada contra o parasita da malária, realizando análises virtuais, como verificação de características físico-químicas e farmacocinéticas, docking molecular (interação virtual entre ligante e proteína-alvo do parasita) e ensaios em placas de cultura.
