Where we are... - MMS

Go to content

Welcome to the Molecular Modeling Section (MMS) of the Department of Pharmaceutical and Pharmacological Sciences, at the University of Padova in Italy. Our mission is to develop and apply new IT and computational methodologies to speed up the identification and development of new drug candidates through the creation of collaborative interfaces with synthetic chemistry, biochemistry and biology, pharmacology, and different medical disciplines.
In the spirit of the motto "interdisciplinarity is dialog" the aim of the MMS is to face computational medicinal chemistry and therapeutic needs in collaboration with all field experts... not mixing our expertise but summing them up.

Here is where our lab is located:
