The main research lines are:

• Development of new strategies and tools for knowledge extraction and linkage from biomedical literature and other publicly available sources.
• Network biology for the study of human diseases and drug toxicity.
• Integrative knowledge management and exploitation in drug discovery and development, including multi-level and multi-scale modeling and simulation.
