Dr. Constantinos Potamitis is a PostDoctoral Researcher at the Institute of Biology, Medicinal Chemistry and Biotechnology, National Hellenic Research Foundation. In his interview, he talks about Virtual Screening, a computer simulation technique used as the first step in the medicinal drugs discovery process. Virtual Screening reduces the need for the costly and resource-intensive manual lab experiments which determine the effects of linking/combining molecules and proteins. Current research done in the Lab of Molecular Analysis, focuses on how to improve the accuracy of existing models. Interviewed by George Voulgaris for Tech Talks Central.
