Welcome to Filizola Lab
Leading the Way in Computational Structural Biology and Drug Discovery Research
At the Filizola Lab, we investigate the structure, dynamics, and function of membrane proteins—particularly G Protein–Coupled Receptors, transporters, channels, and beta3 integrins—with the goal of understanding their roles in human disease and guiding the discovery of safer, more effective therapeutics.
