BioData World Congress 2021

This year, Discngine will be at the BioData World Congress in Basel! Let’s meet again for one of the first in-person in events after a while.

The BioData World Congress 2021 is Europe’s largest congress covering big data in pharmaceutical development and healthcare. This edition will showcase innovation, demonstrate success, and break through the obstacles and barriers to ensure that the innovations in big data and research informatics help researchers achieve their goals with speed and efficiency.

Join Discngine for this edition along with 350 speakers and 2000 attendees.

Booth #46

Lorena’s Talk - Nov. 3 @ 14:40

Exploit the vast and rich protein structural space with 3decision: discover how to unravel the full potential of structural data for Drug Design

Lorena Zara is a Scientific Project Manager at Discngine, working in the 3decision team. 3decision is Discngine’s solution for knowledge management which helps scientists with ideation and decision-making in structure-based drug design. Lorena is responsible for external collaboration with R&D teams in pharma, onboarding, and scientific project support. Lorena has a background in computational chemistry and X-ray crystallography. She performed her Ph.D. research at the Vrije Universiteit of Amsterdam (VU), focusing on the in-silico investigation of structure-activity and structure-kinetic relationships to guide the rational design and optimization of small molecules against various drug targets, among which phosphodiesterases (PDEs).  

During her Ph.D., Lorena gained international research experience in other academic groups, such as in the computational lab of Prof. Xavier Barril (University of Barcelona) and the crystallography group of Prof. David Brown (University of Kent). She also worked on interdisciplinary projects with industrial partners of the FragNet consortium: ZoBio (The Netherlands) and Beactica AB (Sweden), collaborating with synthetic chemists, biophysicists, and crystallographers.
