Welcome to SBDD 2023

Conference Aim

As for the past editions, the sixth edition of the SBDD - Structured Based Drug Design conference, aims to discuss the state of the art of computational methods as effective tools for drug discovery. To this end, we will integrate topics that are, and will remain, central to the field, such as structure-based drug discovery and molecular modeling and simulations for drug design.

Come join us at the Old Monastery 'Convento dell'Annunziata', located in the beautiful seaside town of Sestri Levante!
