Our Research

Medicinal Chemistry

Our group focuses on the design and synthesis of novel drug candidates for various therapeutic targets, with a particular emphasis on cancer and infectious diseases.

Drug Discovery

We employ state-of-the-art techniques in medicinal chemistry, including structure-based drug design, fragment-based drug discovery, and high-throughput screening.

Chemical Biology

Our research integrates chemical synthesis with biological studies to understand disease mechanisms and develop new therapeutic strategies.

Computational Drug Discovery

We use AI, machine learning, deep learning, molecular docking, and simulation to accelerate drug discovery and design.
