Description
The Molecular Informatics group, belonging to the Drug Discovery area, is engaged in the design of novel chemical and biological therapeutic agents through the application of cutting-edge computer-aided technologies. In recent years, the group has combined the use of classical computer-aided molecular design techniques with the development of machine learning algorithms useful in predicting the biological and chemical-physical properties of the designed molecules.
Powerful computing tools and cutting-edge infrastructures also make it possible to elucidate crucial molecular interactions behind several diseases. The technologies exploited by the group represents a time- and cost-saving strategy within the entire drug discovery workflow.
