Description:
CODDES was founded with a focus on designing new chemicals and biological compounds as well as developing novel computational tools. The transformation of lead molecules into drugs transferable from the pharmaceutical phase to commercial manufacturing is the main goal. Using rational drug design, medicinal chemistry, and ‘omics’ based methods the company is striving to discover pathway modes where a single molecular target might be an essential component of more than one disease. CODDES is using machine learning techniques in mining of genomics and proteomics data with assay data and dynamic space of target families. This aims to better understand the function and improve innovative drug discovery including virtual screening and QSAR modeling.
