Molecular Biophysics & (Bio)Chemistry via Computation
Research interests in the Gianti Lab lie at the interface of computational biochemistry, biophysics and drug discovery. Our work aims at addressing fundamental questions in biomedical research and use this information to aid in the discovery of new drugs to cure human diseases, thereby bridging the gap between basic research and applied biomedical discovery. We use most advanced computer simulation, physics-based and ML-based approaches to investigate and fine-tune chemical & biological processes. We’re well adept at modeling and simulating chemical & biological systems of various size and complexity, resulting in computationally intensive calculations carried on large computer clusters, and high-performance computing (HPC) resources. Because our research is inherently multidisciplinary, we collaborate with research groups both on and off campus, which provides our Lab members broad scientific exposure to integrative approaches.
Our Lab welcomes individuals from all backgrounds.
