I am involved in research activities in the medicinal chemistry field. In particular, my research focuses on the design, development and structure-activity relationship evaluation of new ligands for different pharmacological targets. These activities are usually supported by molecular modelling studies, such as molecular docking, dynamics and virtual screening.
