Your partner in computational drug design

Computational drug design at your fingertips

Silicos-it is a Belgian consulting company founded in 2010 and specializing in computational drug design. We provide expertise across all major areas of modern computer-aided drug discovery, including virtual screening, molecular dynamics applications, and state-of-the-art machine learning models for structure–activity relationship analysis. In addition to our consultancy services, we actively develop and maintain open-source software tools for the scientific community.

Since 2013, Silicos-it has had a long-standing with the University of Antwerp (UA). Through this partnership, we are able to offer a comprehensive range of solutions for computational drug design challenges. Depending on the nature of the project, collaborations may take the form of service work conducted under the umbrella of the University of Antwerp, the preparation and execution of VLAIO-funded projects with the university as academic partner, or clearly defined fee-for-service projects with Silicos-it acting as the commercial partner.
