We are excited to announce that we just released a new preprint titled “A novel bottom-up approach to find lead-compounds in billion-sized libraries“. In this work we used a hierarchy of computational methods to prospectively identify (and validate experimentally) 19 BRD4 (BD1) binders while throughly exploring the 1% most promising space of the Enamine REAL […]

Today, our colleague Patricia presented part of her research project during the final Seminar of the year at the Institute of Theoretical and Computational Chemistry (IQTC). Her presentation, titled “Understanding the Role of H-Bonds in the Stability of Molecular Glue-Induced Ternary Complexes”, showcased three examples of systems containing molecular glues. These examples highlighted the potential […]

Last week, the PhD students of our research group organized a fun and collaborative team-building activity to celebrate the traditional “Castañada.” We joined other doctoral researchers from the same field to prepare delicious panellets, a local pastry, and enjoy roasted chestnuts and sweet potatoes, typical of the region. It was a great opportunity to connect […]

We are very happy to announce that our colleague Álvaro Serrano Morrás has successfully defended his doctoral thesis, obtaining the grade of Cum Laude. The defense took place on Friday, September 11, overseen by a committee made up of Prof. F. Javier Luque, Prof. Giulia Caron, and Dr. Julian Fuchs. We thank them for their […]

Last Friday, September 27th, we celebrated the European Researcher’s Night at CosmoCaixa. For the occasion, we organized a fun activity aimed at all the families who came to enjoy learning about science. Thanks to the hard work of the ALLODD (Allostery in Drug Discovery) program team and the generosity of the IQTC (Institute of Theoretical […]

This past week, the 24th EuroQSAR Congress took place in Barcelona. From our group, Patricia, Blanca, Varbina, and Jordi attended. Varbina gave a presentation in the session on New Drug Modalities, where she discussed her project on Allosteric Ligands for Fbxw7 E3 Ligase. Jordi, Patricia, and Blanca each presented a poster on their respective projects. […]

We are pleased to share that Varbina recently attended two prominent events: the EFMC International Symposium on Medicinal Chemistry and the EFMC Young Medicinal Chemists’ Symposium, both held in Rome. During these events, she had the opportunity to connect with leading researchers, explore innovative developments in drug discovery, and contribute to discussions shaping the future of […]

Our colleagues Varbina and Patricia, along with our supervisor Jordi attended to the CCPBioSim Annual Conference 2024 in Newcastle, England. Varbina and Patritia presented their results at the poster sessions, and Jordi gave a talk on “Computational Tools for the Rational Design of Molecular Glues”. Varbina also won a poster price in the field of […]
