LABORATORIO 204 Prof. POCE GIOVANNA "MEDCHEMLAB"
Our research interests focus on drug design to combat infectious diseases, focusing particularly on tuberculosis (TB) and malaria.
For tuberculosis, the lab is dedicated to discovering small molecules that inhibit Mycobacterium tuberculosis, aiming to tackle drug-resistant strains and shorten treatment duration. We utilize structure-based drug design, leveraging protein crystallography and molecular docking to identify potential binding sites and develop compounds with high specificity and efficacy against TB.
