Leo Degreve

Graduated in chemistry - Université Libre de Bruxelles (1966) and Ph.D. in Chemistry from the University of São Paulo (1971). From 1968 to 2013 he was professor of the Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Philosophy, Sciences and Letters of Ribeirão Preto where he taught in bachelor's and graduate levels various courses mainly of Chemical Physics. Currently is a sênior professor at the University of São Paulo. Has experience in the field of chemistry, with emphasis on molecular simulation, focusing mainly on subjects such as biophysics in the study of the structure / activity of proteins alone or in interaction with models of cell membranes or other proteins. The research activities currently focus to understand at a molecular level understanding of how are working the interactions between proteins of the dengue virus with the cell membranes in order to determine what are the quaternary structures of key proteins in the development of the dengue virus. The current phase of research focuses on the search for inhibitors of virus replication cycle..Is a CNPq researcher, level II. H factor: 17 (Source: Lattes Curriculum)
