Biomolecular Engineering for drugs and biocides development
About
We use uniqumolecular modeling and machine learning (AI) approaches to design peptides and oligonucleotides for difficult protein (including undruggable) targets. By using powerful simulations, we can design ligands that have high affinity and specificity to a given target.
