About the Group

GMMSB @ LNCC

The GMMSB Group, part of the National Laboratory for Scientific Computing (LNCC) under the Ministry of Science, Technology, and Innovation (MCTI), is a dynamic, multidisciplinary research team based in the mountain city of Petrópolis, Rio de Janeiro. Established in 2002, our group brings together expertise in biology, physics, applied mathematics, and high-performance computing.


Our primary focus lies in advancing computational methods for rational drug design, ab initio protein structure prediction, and quantum calculations of biological macromolecule electrostatic properties. We also play a pivotal role in LNCC's Computational Modelling post-graduate program, offering Master's and Ph.D. degrees to students from diverse scientific backgrounds.


Our group also organizes the biannual School of Molecular Modeling of Biological Systems (EMMSB) since 2002 — a nationally recognized academic event. Learn more →
