Research

The Chemical Space Project

“Chemical space” describes the ensemble of all possible chemical compounds, in particular those of interest as drugs for medical use. Our work on chemical space unfolds in the following projects:

  • Peptide Chemistry: design, synthesis and evaluation of new bioactive topologically diverse peptides, in particular peptide dendrimers and polycyclic peptides as antimicrobials, biofilm inhibitors, cell penetrating and gene/si-RNA transfection reagents
  • Cheminformatics: enumeration of the chemical universe database GDB containing all possible organic molecules, new methods for the interactive visualization and virtual screening of chemical space (www.gdb.unibe.ch)
  • Medicinal Chemistry: computer-aided design and synthesis of small molecule modulators for transporter and ion channels, in part in the context of the NCCR TransCure (www.nccr-transcure.ch)
