Research Intrest

Development of nanotechnological platforms for the In Silico Design of novel formulations and optimization of existing drugs. Prediction of the molecular basis of the protein–nanomaterials association processes, by simulations at multiple levels (Classical Molecular Dynamics and Brownian Dynamics) that cover multiple length- and timescales. Mastering Molecular Dynamics (AMBER, GROMACS) and Docking (SDA) tools for the simulation of biological systems in complex environments. Developing Docking tools for large bimolecules as well as novel force fields (FF) parameters for classical simulations.
