Hello #chemsky #compchem
Since I'm new here, I'll introduce myself, hoping to connect with other people in the field.
I am a postdoc at the University of Siena. My research include computer-aided drug design, spacing from applied drug discovery projects to method development.
Happy to follow back!!
