Molecular Modeling & Simulation

Molecular structures, simulations and computational analyses.

Molecular modelling and simulation approaches provide a computational framework to investigate biological systems at the atomic level. By describing molecular behaviour over time, these methodologies allow the exploration of conformational changes, flexibility and interaction mechanisms.

Molecular dynamics simulations are used to study proteins, macromolecular complexes and biological interfaces, providing information that complements experimental structural approaches. Trajectory analysis enables the characterization of stability, mobility and energetic properties.

Computational modelling is applied to investigate protein–protein interactions, mutation effects and molecular recognition processes. Changes in sequence or structure can influence the behaviour of biological systems and modify their functional properties.

By integrating simulations with structural descriptors and quantitative analyses, molecular modelling provides a detailed description of complex biological phenomena across different spatial and temporal scales.

These approaches are increasingly important in computational biology, where the combination of physical modelling and data analysis allows researchers to interpret complex molecular mechanisms and generate new hypotheses.

Data Science & Machine Learning

Computational models and biological data analysis.

Machine learning methods are integrated with biological data analysis to identify patterns, extract relevant features and develop predictive models for complex molecular systems.

Statistical approaches and artificial intelligence techniques can support the interpretation of large datasets generated by simulations, experiments and computational pipelines.

The combination of machine learning with molecular information enables the development of models capable of describing biological properties, predicting molecular behaviour and assisting scientific discovery.
