Molecular Modeling Module of the Pharmaceutical Platform Technology
Pharmaceutical platform technology (PPT) was invented by Sinoveda Inc., the partner organization, to accomplish the tasks of identification, purification, and activity determination for the active ingredients of natural herbal remedies, with the goal of developing and optimizing the remedies. However, two issues remain to be tackled in the PPT process: first, there is as yet no systematic approach to take advantage of the properties of the ingredients of herbs; and second, there is a lack of appropriate methods to consistently understand their effects. During this internship the applicant will tackle both of these issues by developing a computer software method using an information-driven approach. The method will be tested initially by studying a well-known herb: red clover, which has been used to treat menopausal symptoms.
