THE CARDIOWORKBENCH PROJECT
THE CARDIOWORKBENCH PROJECT
CARDIOWORKBENCH addresses bottlenecks in the drug design and the optimization
of knowledge transfer in join research activities that involve industrial and academicals
entities. The main activities of the project are the following:
•
DNA Array technology
•
High throughput proteomic analysis
•
Integration of functional genomics and proteomics data mining
•
Experimental dissection of metabolic pathways
•
Determination of structural characteristics of the screened targets
•
Quantitative activity and structural relationship (QSAR) and protein-ligand interaction
analysis
•
Development of ADME and pharmacokinetic analysis system based on “
in silico
”
tissue computational models
•
Evaluation of the interaction among metabolic pathways
•
Modelling cellular behaviour on the basis of metabolic data
•
Optimization of cell culture parameters
