Research & Development

Six Core Scientific Disciplines

7DNA R&D spans six interconnected computational disciplines. Every engagement draws from validated methodology, domain expertise and scientific software purpose-built for the task.

Disciplines

What We Research & Build

Our six disciplines are not silos, they intersect. A drug discovery project may draw on bioinformatics, molecular docking and biomedical AI simultaneously. We work across them fluidly.

01 / DD

Computational Drug Discovery

Molecular docking, MD simulation, virtual screening, pharmacophore modelling and ADMET prediction from target structure to ranked lead compounds.
