GMMSB - Grupo de Modelagem Molecular em Sistemas Biologicos

The GMMSB (Molecular Modeling of Biological Systems Group) is a multidisciplinary research group at National Laboratory for Scientific Computing (LNCC) of the Ministry of Science, Technology, Innovation and Communications (MCTIC). The group is located in the city of Petrópolis, a mountain city in Rio de Janeiro state. Since 2002, the group works with biology, physics, applied mathematics and high-performance computing. The main objectives of GMMSB are the development and application of computational methods, techniques and algorithms in rational drug design, ab initio protein structure prediction and quantum calculations of biological macromolecules electrostatic properties. The group has an important actuation in the LNCC Computational Modeling Multidisciplinary Post-graduation Program (Master’s and Ph.D degrees), with students from biology, chemistry, physics, mathematics, computation and engineering sciences.
