Drug Design and Discovery Unit at Jordan University (3DUJU)
3DUJU was established in 2004 at the Faculty of Pharmacy-University of Jordan by Prof. Mutasem Taha. The basic goal behind 3DUJU was to develop and implement advanced computer-aided molecular modeling techniques towards the discovery of novel biologically active molecules that can be developed into drugs.
In 3DUJU we implement innovative combinations of molecular modeling methodologies by hybridizing pharmacophore modeling with QSAR analysis; molecular docking and 3D-QSAR (e.g., CoMFA and RSA); in silico screening and natural products. We also implement smart discovery techniques that take advantage of established drugs and agrochemicals as sources of leads for subsequent development.
The reader is invited to read more about our achievements and to scan some of our publications.
