Patricia Blanco has recently joined our group as a Ph.D student. She has a master’s degree in Biotechnology from the University of Madrid and an IT and Business degree from Universidad CEU San Pablo. Patricia will be working on the computational rational design of mini-PROTAC molecules. We wish you all the best with your research!
Read More →Varbina Ivanova will continue her work with us as a PhD student. Her project on Allosterity in Fbw7 E3 ligase is part of the Marie Skłodowska Curie ALLODD consortium.
Read More →On Friday 10th of December, Dylan has successfully defended his PhD thesis entitled Computational exploration of host-guest complexes. This work has been carried out within the NOAH ITN project (https://www.noah-itn.eu/) under the co-supervision of Xavi and Prof. Valerie Heitz from Strasbourgh university. During his thesis, Dylan has participated in the SAMPL challenges, predicting host-guest complex […]
Read More →On Monday 25th of October, Miriam has successfully defended her PhD thesis entitled Biophysical and structural approaches to discover small-molecule modulators of challenging targets in cancer. During her thesis she has employed a wide range of structural and biophysical methodologies to uncover ligandability of the E3 ligases family, including the discovery of the first FBXW7 […]
Read More →A PhD positions is available in our lab in the context of a Marie Curie Innovative Training Network (ALLODD). Applications from MSc students finishing their Bioinformatics (or related) are particularly welcome. The ALLODD project is a collaboration between 13 academic and industrial organizations with 14 PhD students in total. The aim of ALLODD is to […]
Read More →Serena has successfully defended her PhD thesis entitled ‘Molecular recognition and chemical space navigation in drug discovery’. In her thesis she has developed a very successful fragment evolution platform and applied it to discover new BRD4 ligand scaffold. She also investigated the very interesting case of the hydrophobic waters hotspot, and the implication of this […]
Read More →Moira successfully defended her thesis entitled “Fragment-to-Lead Optimization with Automated and Iterative Virtual Screening”. Her Fragment Evolution Automated platform (FrEvolAtion) has shown to be a powerful tool for Fragment-based Drug Discovery and her results finding binders for the NUDT1, BRD4, HSP90 and other kinases thoroughly validate the reach of the methodology. We hope you have […]
Read More →The next Wednesday 23rd of September Moira will defend her PhD at the Pharmacy Faculty. We expect you all there!
Read More →Today, Maciej successfully defended his thesis entitled ‘Implications of Structural Stability in Drug Design’. His work on understanding structural stability (1) and broadening its applicability towards drug design (2) has impulsed the research line in the group. We hope the best on your future projects. Congratulations Dr. Majewski!!!
Read More →Next Tuesday 14th of January most members of the group will be attending the Biomedicine’s Phd Day at UB. Salvo will also be giving a talk about his work with FBW7 at 10:45 in the Aula 11. Miriam will also be presenting her poster about ẗhe E3 ligase.
