This weekly series showcases Georgetown University’s Shared Resources, which provide Georgetown Lombardi researchers with access to state-of-the-art equipment and technical expertise to support their work. |
|
Shared Resource Spotlight: Computational Chemistry Shared Resource
The Computational Chemistry Shared Resource (CCSR) accelerates the basic and translational aspects of scientific research discovery and development projects. The CCSR provides a wide array of services, including drug discovery screening, toxicity analysis, simulations, and modeling of chemical and biological systems. CCSR services facilitate the development and testing of experimental hypotheses, reduce the time and costs involved in drug discovery & development, provide additional justification for experimental results obtained in the wet laboratory, and aid in the analysis and communication of results for grant submissions, publications and presentations to the research community.
