Miro Astore, Ph.D.

Miro Astore joined the Center for Computational Biology (CCB) in 2022. He was trained at the University of Sydney, where he earned a bachelor’s degree in physics and a doctorate in biophysics. He specializes in modeling the dynamics of proteins to help cell biologists understand the physical basis of life.

For his Ph.D. research, he worked closely with a team of clinicians and cell biologists to expand patient access to life-saving cystic fibrosis medication. Now, he works in the Structural and Molecular Biophysics Group at the CCB to uncover the mechanisms of biological temperature sensors.
