Stephani Joy Y. Macalino received her undergraduate degree in Biochemistry from University of the Philippines-Manila and her doctorate degree in Pharmaceutical Sciences from Ewha Womans University (Seoul, South Korea). Her specialization lies in computer-aided drug discovery and application of molecular concepts to investigate structural and functional changes in proteins. This is evidenced by her undergraduate and doctoral thesis covering topics such as computational tuberculosis drug discovery, molecular mechanisms of a tetraspanin-like protein, and fragment-based optimization of natural products for anticancer drug discovery. Aside from these, she is also interested in post-marketing adverse effects analysis of known drugs in relation to in silico polypharmacology of compounds, and is currently studying the effects of asthma and antihypertensive drugs.

I am a computer scientist by training with a specialisation on database and information systems. Since December 2018 I am professor of Medical Informatics at the University Medicine in Greifswald, Germany. At UMG, I head the data integration center, supporting clinician scientists with data management and sharing during research projects. My lab focuses on FAIR research data management in biomedicine, data integration across health care providers, and provenance of clinical research data items within clinical information systems. Furthermore, I am actively involved in COMBINE standardisation efforts. My lab maintains several software libraries and tools for creating and sharing reproducible simulation studies as well as a graph-database that integrates heterogenuous data sources for computational modeling in biology.
