Computational Biochemistry & Therapeutic Discovery
ArGansLab at the Wilfrid Laurier University's Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry integrates computational biochemistry, artificial intelligence, and experimental bioscience to uncover molecular mechanisms and develop next-generation therapeutics..
We've cultivated an environment that fosters creativity, innovation, and excellence in tackling biochemical and health-related challenges using cutting-edge smart computational methodologies and experimental validation.
Computational Biochemistry
Our Research
We integrate biocomputing, artificial intelligence, and experimental bioscience to accelerate therapeutic discovery.
Drug Discovery
AI & Research automation
We model protein structures and interactions at the atomic scale to uncover mechanisms of molecular recognition
We integrate computational screening and experimental validation to identify and optimize novel classes of therapeutic candidates, spanning small molecules to protein-bodies to nanobodies
We design AI algorithms and build new software and tools that accelerate biomolecular analyses and drug design
Our Team
ArGansLab is an interdisciplinary research group focused on biocomputing, artificial intelligence, and therapeutic discovery. We combine computational and experimental approaches to address challenges in neuroscience, cancer immunology, and human health.
