Last week, Blanca took part in the XI Young Researchers Symposium (YRS), organized by the SEQT (Spanish Society of Medicinal Chemistry), held in Bilbao at the University of the Basque Country. 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 […]

Read More →From May 6th to 8th, Varbina participated in the Free Energy Workshop 2025, held in Boston, USA. She presented a poster on the work she has done together with Patricia and Jordi on Steered MD for Molecular Glues. The workshop featured presentations on methodological developments, practical applications, and emerging trends in the field of free […]
Read More →This week, Varbina and Jordi took part in the European Conference on Allostery in Drug Discovery, held at the Biomedical Research Foundation of the Academy of Athens and organized by the ALLODD consortium. The event brought together researchers working on different aspects of allostery and drug design. It was a valuable opportunity to exchange ideas, present […]
Read More →This last weekend, the Experimental and Computational teams came together for a calçotada. It was the perfect occasion to bond outside of the lab and share a piece of local culture with our colleagues who didn’t know it. Big thanks to everyone who joined in, and to those who helped make it happen. We’re already looking […]
Read More →Last Thursday, Beste successfully defended her PhD thesis titled “Multiscale modelling of light harvesting, catalysis, and ligand binding in biosystems”, a work that has required years of dedication and hard work. A special thank you to the members of the tribunal, Laura Pérez Benito, Carolina Estarellas, and Carlos Modenutti, for their attendance and valuable contributions […]
