Our research in Medicinal Chemistry and Pharmacology merges methodological studies with applications to specific topics, always focusing on unmet medical needs. In this regard, our chemical platforms are ready to support a variety of Drug Discovery programs, including the development of in vivo proof of concept models for a number of central nervous system disorders. Our group addresses a variety of chemical and pharmacological topics with serious impact in human health by designing, synthesizing new bioactive compounds, characterizing their pharmacological profile and, at the same time, studying unknown biological pathways with bioprobes prepared in house. Our approach, combining several disciplines (drug synthesis, biological & medicinal chemistry and pharmacology) is backed by pure and applied research in these topics. Furthermore, we have active collaborations with academic and industrial research groups to tackle several projects. We have built a medicinal chemistry platform to efficiently design and prepare complex compounds in a fast and reliable manner, and also we comprise a pharmacology unit that manages the biological approach.
