Structural Bioinformatics, Modeling and Biological Mechanisms (Model3DBio)

The research group has its roots in the Protein Interactions and Docking group, founded in 2005 by the principal investigator, Juan Fernández Recio, at the Institut de Recerca Biomédica (IRB) of Barcelona, then relocated to the Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC) in 2007, and consolidated in 2017, when the PI joined the Institute of Molecular Biology of Barcelona (CSIC) as tenured scientist. In 2018, after the PI relocation to ICVV, the group continued with the development of computational tools for the structural modeling of biomolecules and their interactions, but with a strong focus on their application to problems of interest in grapevine and wine sciences.
