ProfileResearchTop 5 Publications
Gustavo Capatti Cassiano has a PhD in Genetics and currently is a Researcher at Global Health and Tropical Medicine Center of IHMT/NOVA. I have so far published 29 articles, 3 book chapters and I have co-supervise(d) 2 BSc, 1 MSc, and 2 PhD students. Presently, the most relevant part of my work is focused on Computer-Assisted Drug Design, aiming at discovering new drug candidates for Neglected and Tropical diseases.
Gustavo Capatti Cassiano is focused on three main lines of research:
- Genetics association studies to evaluate the genetic components that could influence the development of naturally acquired immune response against malaria;
- Development of computational tools for drug discovery against tropical diseases;
- Development of antimalarial drug susceptibility assays
- Artificial intelligence applied for the rapid identification of new antimalarial candidates with dualstage activity – ChemMedChem. 2021. 16(7). doi: 10.1002/cmdc.202000685
