Computational Biology and Bioinformatics, being an interface between modern biology and informatics encompass discovery, development and implementation of computational algorithms and software tools with aim to increase understanding of the biological processes. In the pharmaceutical sector, these disciplines are used to reduce the time and costs of drug discovery process and to identify drug targets.

We, at Laboratory for Bioinformatics and Computational Chemistry, Institute of Nuclear Sciences VINCA, discover and implement algorithms to improve the understanding of biological systems. We often apply our methods and other techniques to specific biological systems usually through collaboration with experimentalists.
