CADD Lab

The laboratory was opened in 2023-24. Its primary focus is on software development for the analysis and prediction of the biological activity of compounds. The laboratory specialises in theoretical and computer-aided drug research.

What we do

The laboratory uses a broad variety of approaches to drug design and discovery, including:

  • 3D/4D QSAR modelling;
  • molecular docking;
  • statistical methods;
  • regression analysis;
  • polynomial models;
  • data mining;
  • classification algorithms;
  • discriminant analysis;

The research is performed on the basis of multi-conformational and multi-tautomeric approaches taking into account the multi-stage drug delivery process, drug metabolism, and transmembrane penetration. The researchers develop methods and software for 3D/4D QSAR modelling, molecular docking, and virtual screening for drug discovery. Several antitumour and antimicrobial drugs developed at the laboratory have successfully been tested in vivo & vitro.
