Professor Xavier Barril has joined Boehringer Ingelheim as an Associate Director of the

Computational team!

For more information about the Barril Lab legacy visit the CMD Lab or Galdeano Lab.

We strive to understand molecular recognition processes and to use this knowledge to design new molecules with practical applications. Our ultimate goal is to have a positive impact on people’s lives.

The group has two main lines of research that are complementary and cross-fertilise:

  1. Discovery of molecules with novel mechanisms of action.
  2. Development of more effective tools for structure-based drug design. 

Multidisciplinarity is a wonderful characteristic of drug discovery, and we take pride in our collaborations, they are essential and truly enriching. Our close ties with the Galdeano lab enable us to integrate biophysical, medicinal chemistry, and molecular and cell biology techniques in our research projects.

Some of our ideas have moved beyond the boundaries of academia. Basic research leads to translation research, which leads to initiatives such as Minoryx Therapeutics, Gain Therapeutics, or Oniria Therapeutics.
