Mission Statement

The PharmacoInformatics laboratory is devoted to the development and implementation of computational methodologies in the area of drug design and development.

Nowadays, computational methodologies are widely used in pharmaceutical research. From the initial stages of target validation to safety studies, in silico methods are an integral part of the R&D. Unfortunately, in most cases, the usefulness of these methods is limited by the large complexity of the biological subjects and the multiple biological scales involved in observable outcomes.

In this context, the PharmacoInformatics laboratory aims to improve the current state-of-the-art by developing computational tools based on multi-scale representations of phenomena that go beyond the classic reductionist approaches. We also implement these methodologies in user-friendly software suitable for academic and corporate environments.

Manuel Pastor is the group leader.
