National Institute of Chemistry in
Ljubljana,
Slovenia.
Currently I am head of the Laboratory for Biocomputing and Bioinformatics at
the National Insitute of Chemistry.
Our research is oriented toward understanding the systems of
biological interest on molecular level. In particular we are interested in
chemical reactions in solution and enzymes, hydrogen bonding, nuclear
quantum effects, transport phenomena and receptor triggering.
Drug design, chemical reactions relevant for carcinogenesis and
computational support of pharmacology are direct applications.
Currenly design of novel girase inhibitors and complexation of
oral diabetics are ongoing projects in the direction of drug design.
Bionformatics is a complementary direction of research in our
laboratory.
Computer simulation is the main research tool used in our laboratory.
In addition, we are using vibrational spectrocopy, NMR spectroscopy,
surface plasmonic resonance. Synthesis and testing of novel compounds is
in colaboration with the Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Ljubljana.
Pharmacological research is done in colaboration with the Institute
of Pharmacology and Experimenal Toxicology, Faculty of Medicine,
University of Ljubljana.

Mathematical or computer modeling of natural phenomena, and
chemistry in particular, challenged many great spirits.
Let us see what big shots
think about it.
