The Guida group uses computational chemistry for the structure-based design of novel therapeutic agents primarily directed against cancer. The lab performs in silico screening of large chemical databases to identify lead compounds and performs molecular modeling studies in collaboration with medicinal chemists for lead optimization studies that ultimately results in new molecular entities that can be tested in a clinical setting.
