About the SSG:

SSG Computer Methods in Drug Discovery brings together students interested in computer-aided drug design (CADD). The group focuses on applying molecular modeling, docking, molecular dynamics, and ADMET analysis to study protein structure and function. Its main research areas include G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), kinases, and monoamine oxidase B (MAO-B), which are key therapeutic targets in central nervous system disorders. Members explore ligand-protein interactions, develop pharmacophore models, and perform simulations to better understand the mechanisms of bioactive compounds. Special attention is devoted to neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric diseases such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and neuropathies. The main goals of the association are to develop research skills and foster collaboration between students and researchers in modern drug discovery.  

Admission criteria:
At least 4th year of pharmacy / 2nd DDD, Basic knowledge of molecular modeling,  ML skills would be advantegous.

Recruitment process:
To join the Student Scientific Association, simply send a short message via email. Due to time–space limitations, I can accept a maximum of 3 new members during the academic year.
