ABOUT US
The Dans Lab, aka the Computational Biophysics group, is part of the Department of Biological Sciences (DCB) from the Regional University Center (CENUR) located in Uruguay's north riverside (Litoral Norte, Salto city). At Dans Lab we are passionate about the intricate adventures that macromolecules have in their biological context, so we devote our efforts to spy and analyze them by using molecular modelling, in silico simulations, and structural bioinformatics, with a multiscale perspective.
