Context And Mission
EAPM is a group focuses on the theoretical modelling of biochemical and biophysical processes placing emphasis both on development of methods and on their application to specific systems. For this, we combine different modeling techniques including: quantum mechanics electronic structure, molecular modeling (Monte Carlo and molecular dynamics techniques), bioinformatic statistical analysis, machine learning, etc. To perform such simulations, we developed an application with a graphical user interface that helps scientists runs their simulations easier and faster.
The MS will develop and improve our current software for managing, submitting and analyzing simulations.
