In Memory of Maurizio Botta: His Contribution to the Development of Computer-Aided Drug Design

In Memory of Maurizio Botta: His Vision of Medicinal Chemistry

“…Besides the chemical background, Maurizio was fascinated and attracted by multiple disciplines such as computational modeling, medicinal chemistry, biology, and pharmacology, which have been constitutively implemented in his research strategy during the years. As a result, the large majority of his works have combined multiple disciplines, with the ultimate goal to advance the knowledge on human diseases and to foster their possible treatment through the optimization and development of small molecules as candidate drugs.…”
