New project alert! Affi-Pred is our laboratory’s most recent project about computational Toolbox for Discovery of new Affinity Ligands. Affinity ligands are key molecules in biopharmaceutical purification. The project focuses on using of molecular modeling techniques for the development of an innovative algorithm “Affi-Pred” (Affinity ligand Predictor), to apply in the discovery of next-generation synthetic …
Arménio Barbosa, researcher at the Biomolecular Engineering Lab, was awarded 100k and 2k hours of CPU and GPU time for the SpikeLig project, from RNCA, Unidade FCCN.The SpikeLig (Affinity ligands towards the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein) project will develop affinity ligands towards the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2.The project aims to unravel the atomistic details of lead …
We are very happy to announce that Ana Cecília Roque was awarded a ERC PoC Grant to validate the technological and business feasibility of an innovative method for the smell-inspired technologies for the diagnosis of neurodegenerative diseases. The project UNMASK : Unraveling Parkinson ́s disease diagnostic will be funded with €150K and this is the researcher’s …
