Deep Learning | Drug Discovery | Computational Biology
Associate Professor at the Department of Informatics Engineering, University of Coimbra, and Researcher at CISUC. I lead research efforts in applying AI to solve complex biological challenges, specifically in molecular generation and genomic analysis.
AI model for Enhancing kinase-inhibitor activity and selectivity. Joint work with Liu Huanxiang from MPU
Our work was promoted by the main Portuguese media, such as Jornal Público, Jornal Observador and Jornal Expresso.
CHAFT, VIBES and IA4FARMA projects funded!
Deep Learning models for prediction of Protein-Drug interactions.
Language models for de novo generation of SMILES of molecules with desired properties.
Analysis of genetic variants to find those associated with a specific trait or disease.
Computational models of how genetic profiles influence the effect of drugs.
