Research areas
The cost of bringing a new drug to the market has been increasing dramatically, so virtual drug design has attracted more and more attention. Our research group is particularly interested in the research topics of computational drug discovery. The research focuses are (1) to develop new algorithms/models/tools for new drug discovery and (2) to apply the established methods on interested drug targets.
