Laboratorio MOSE
MOSE: The Research Activity   
The MOSE laboratory is active within DI3 since 1995 and deals with theory, simulation and modeling in three different areas: process simulation, material science and life science.
Life Science

Life Science Molecular modeling in the field of life sciences including techniques and methods for drug design, for virus inhibition and development of new molecular assembly for the bioscience, the development of new drugs, the understanding of physical chemistry and thermodynamics in physiological processes.
Material Science

Material Science Multiscale molecular modeling in the field of material science, spanning from quantum mechanics to micro finite elements. Message passing integrated techniques allow the determination of ninding energies at atomistic level (MD and MC) and mesoscale structures at nanoscale level.
Environment & Processes

Process SimulationComputer simulation for the development and/or intensifacion of processes for the conversion of available raw materials into valuable products, with the goal of optimizing the environmetnal impact,  energy efficiency and  safety.
