Research projects about Drugs

EVOPROG

The goal of EVOPROG is to design a machine capable of producing new biomolecules. The machine is based on the use of viruses, which modify the DNA of bacteria and make them produce the desired molecules. If successful, EVOPROG could significantly accelerate the development of new drugs and antibiotics.

ExCAPE

The goal of the ExCAPE project is to significantly accelerate the development of new drugs. The idea is to combine machine learning and supercomputers to rapidly design new molecules and increase the efficiency of drug testing.

VES4US

VES4US wants to develop a radically new platform for the efficient production and functionalisation of extracellular vesicles, for the exploitation of the results in the fields of nanomedicine, cosmetics and nutraceutics. This will be accomplished by loading with specific cargoes directly in isolated extracellular vesicles or by the modulation of producer cells.
