Innovative Therapies

Data-Driven Molecular Design

Bioinformatics

Computational Biology

Data Science

Machine Learning

Structural Modeling

Overview

In our lab, we are integrated into multidisciplinary projects centered on two major themes (data science and structural modeling) for which we established a network of international and national collaborations, both experimental and theoretical. In fact, we lead teams of geographically distributed researchers with very diverse scientific backgrounds to work at the interface of Computer Science and Structural Biology. We have extensive expertise in using data from the literature as well as cutting-edge high-throughput technologies combined with computational/mathematical approaches to study biological systems and network architectures of complex diseases. This knowledge is all integrated to develop new and more targeted therapies.
