Winner of the Scientific Challenge Fall 2023: Jeevan Patra with Falcipain Inhibitors

September 20, 2024 10:19 CEST

We are excited to announce that Jeevan Patra is the winner of the BioSolveIT Scientific Challenge Fall 2023. Patra’s research targets Falcipain, a key enzyme in malaria, by identifying selective inhibitors from the Malaria Box, a collection of potent antimalarial candidates by the Medicines for Malaria Venture, Switzerland.

With rising global temperatures and increased travel, malaria is becoming a potential threat to the Western world, making this research highly relevant. Patra’s innovative use of BioSolveIT tools to optimize compound properties could play a crucial role in combating malaria’s spread and resistance.

We appreciate his kind words on the BioSolveIT products:

“(…) I’d like to express my gratitude to BioSolveIT software in view of the remarkable speed, quality, and elegance that made the year productive.”

We wish him great success in future drug discovery endeavors!
