Today, we came together at IQTC for a festive Christmas Toast, a special moment to celebrate the end of the year and another productive chapter for our community. Following the toast, the final Seminar of the year took place, featuring a presentation by Varbina. In her talk, Advancing Innovative Drug Discovery through the Synergy of […]
Read More →On November 3rd and 4th, all the members of our group attended the IQTC Meeting 2025. Blanca gave a talk presenting the project she is developing in her PhD, and during the poster session Varbina and Patri shared their research with other attendees. It was a great opportunity for all of us to discuss our […]
Read More →For the second year in a row, our group of PhD students and postdocs — both computational and experimental researchers — came together to celebrate the traditional Castanyada. We prepared panellets, enjoyed roasted chestnuts and sweet potatoes, and took a well-deserved break from the lab. It’s great to share moments like these outside of research, […]
Read More →We are very happy to share that our latest work, “A bottom-up approach to find lead compounds in expansive chemical spaces”, was published in Communications Chemistry in early August. Congratulations to all the authors for their outstanding work, and especially to Álvaro Serrano-Morrás from our group for his key contribution to this project. You can […]

She gave an oral presentation on her current project, which focuses on using molecular glues to stabilize transient protein–protein complexes — an exciting approach […]
Read More →Today, the CBDD group held a meeting focused on Computational Applications to Structure-Function and Structure-Activity, held at the Food and Nutrition Torribera Campus. We had the pleasure of hosting members of Antonios Kolocouris’ group from the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, who joined us for a full day of stimulating presentations and scientific exchange. […]
Read More →Our latest preprint is now available on ChemRxiv! In this study, we investigate how hydrogen bonds contribute to the stability of molecular glue (MG)-induced ternary complexes. Our findings show that the strengthening of polar interactions is a consistent physicochemical mechanism that supports the action of chemically diverse MGs. Based on these insights, we propose a […]
Read More →Today we took part in the Biomed PhD Day 2025, a fantastic initiative organized to highlight the work of early-stage researchers within the Biomedicine program of the UB. The event featured a full program of short talks, networking opportunities, and inspiring discussions about academic and industry careers. We’re proud to share that both Patricia and […]
Read More →As proud members of the IQTC (Institute of Theoretical and Computational Chemistry), we recently participated in the Festa de la Ciència at the University of Barcelona (UB)—a vibrant event that brings science closer to the public, especially students and families. Our activity focused on the fascinating world of proteins. Visitors discovered what proteins are, what […]
