Description of the research topic:
Molecular design of potent lead compounds is a key question of early stage drug development. Nowadays, computational (pharmacoinformatics) tools are frequently used in molecular design. Such tools can handle large amount of structural information, and perform energetical calculations in reasonable time. The pharmacoinformatics toolkit will be applied in target-based and ligand-based design, and new methods will be developed. The methods will be tested for current problems of pharmacology, such as analgesia, regulation of signal transduction, antiviral-, and epigenetics-based therapies.
