Crivelli Lab

Welcome to the Crivelli Lab. Our research program focuses on high-performance computational approaches to protein structure prediction as well as on the design and implementation of graphical environments for molecular modeling. We have developed ProteinShop, a state-of-the-art graphical environment for protein manipulation and modeling. Given the enormous success of ProteinShop, we are currently working on DockingShop, a graphical infrastructure for studying and analyzing inter-molecular interactions, protein-protein docking and drug design. We recently finished the first prototype that visualizes molecular interactions, atom collisions, mutations, and more with very impressive results. We are exploring new approaches for the parallelization of local and global optimization methods that can be used in the context of the protein structure prediction problem as well as in other applications.
