NBD | Nostrum Biodiscovery is a joint spin-off of the Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC-CNS), the Institute for Research in Biomedicine of Barcelona (IRB Barcelona), the Catalan Institution for Research and Advanced Studies (ICREA) and the University of Barcelona (UB), that was created to commercially exploit a series of computational tools developed by Professors Víctor Guallar and Modesto Orozco.

NBD uses its own proprietary modeling technologies with structure and ligand-based simulations, artificial intelligence algorithms, and supercomputing capacity to speed up, increasing the success ratio, and profitability of the drug design and the directed enzyme evolution processes.

Moreover, the proprietary technologies are grouped in a very adaptable and customizable software platform that can be licensed to any company either developing new small molecules, enhancing enzymes or facing molecular modeling challenges in their day to day activity.

Finally, NBD has a portfolio of co-developed products with some of our clients.
