Our research
Our group develops and applies computational strategies for rational engineering and de novo design in target and drug discovery, as well as biotechnology innovation.
By employing structure-based computational methods, molecular modeling and computer simulation techniques, and closely integrated with experimental collaborations, we aim to decipher the relationships between biomolecular structure and function. This approach enables us to understand the molecular basis of protein, DNA and other biomolecular recognition, ultimately allowing us to rationally modulate biological function. Our current research focuses on the discovery and functional characterization of novel proteins, the rational engineering of biomacromolecules with improved functional properties, and de novo design of molecular scaffolds for a wide range of biotechnological and biomedical applications.
