ELIXIR Communities and Services Coordinator. He promotes collaboration between ELIXIR Nodes and the ELIXIR Hub and leads the development of research communities associated with ELIXIR use cases. He has extensive experience in computational biology, bioinformatics leadership, and research infrastructure management.

Assistant Professor and Principal Investigator at the Department of Biochemistry at Eötvös Loránd University (ELTE), Hungary, where he leads the Protein Dynamics Research Group. Trained as a bioengineer, he holds a PhD in structural biochemistry and has a decade of experience in bioinformatics. His career spans ten years of academic research alongside specialized experience in the pharmaceutical industry, with professional activity in Argentina and extensive collaborations across Europe, particularly in Italy and Israel. His research expertise centers on the characterization of intrinsically disordered proteins through the integration of biophysical concepts and advanced computational approaches. His work focuses on developing novel predictive methods for both general and functional protein disorder, with the goal of bridging artificial intelligence and biophysics. To this end, he employs a broad range of methodologies that includes machine learning, molecular dynamics simulations, and statistical mechanics to investigate the complex behavior and functional roles of intrinsically disordered proteins. He serves as Co-lead of the ELIXIR IDP Community and as the Hungarian Representative for COST. He is also a core member of the ML4NGP COST action, IDP2Biomed twinning project and a contributor of the IDPFun2 project.

Salvador Capella-Gutierrez, PhD, leads the Technologies for Biomedical Research Laboratory at the Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC), as well as the Coordination team of the Spanish National Bioinformatics Institute (INB). INB is the Spanish node of ELIXIR, the European research infrastructure for life science data. Salvador joined the BSC in July 2017 from the Spanish National Cancer Research Center (CNIO) in Madrid. A bioinformatician with a solid technological background in both Computer Engineering and Health Sciences, Salvador received his PhD in Bioinformatics in 2012, awarded by the Center for Genomic Regulation and Pompeu Fabra University in Barcelona, Spain.

His current focus is on developing long-term infrastructure to facilitate the scientific benchmarking and technical evaluation of research software in Life Sciences, including tools, web services, and workflows. More recently, he is interested in how to further elevate those efforts to continue serving the research community in the fast-evolving AI context.
