Protein-Ligand Interactions and Drug Design (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781071612088)

Flavio Ballante is a researcher in the Department of Cell and Molecular Biology at Uppsala University (Sweden). He graduated in Medicinal Chemistry from Sapienza University in Rome (Italy) where he also obtained a Ph.D. in Pharmaceutical Sciences. During his academic career, he conducted research in France (University of Lorraine, Metz), the USA (Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, MO), and Sweden (Uppsala University, Uppsala), working on computer-aided drug design, chemistry, and biology experiments. His primary research goals are directed toward understanding the basis for molecular recognition at the atomic level, and his scientific activity is mainly focused on the design, development, and application of computational methods for ligand discovery.
