The Team

 

The fields of chemistry, pharmacology and toxicology are complementary disciplines, and their respective tools will contribute to this investigation. Our goal is to merge these fields with computational chemistry methods, to establish design strategies that allow for a wide range of functional chemical performance while rationally minimizing unintentional biological activity, facilitating the design of safer chemicals. This overarching goal therefore requires a network approach, i.e. coordination of research groups with expertise in diverse fields of science to strategically generate and evaluate data that will collectively be developed into useful models.
