Computational Biology and Bioinformatics Lab

Centre for AI Driven Drug Discovery at Macao Polytechnic University

OUR MISSION is to improve computational methods for accelerating the drug discovery and development process. We have been developing bioinformatics tools that enable researchers to solve critical drug discovery problems including protein-ligand binding (PSOVina, GWOVina), drug target identification (LigTMap), biological activity (AxPEP, AcPEP) and toxicity predictions (BESTox, SSL-GCN). Our previously developed methods can be accessed directly online via this apps portal (https://app.cbbio.online). Some program source codes can be downloaded from our GitHub page or SourceForge page.
