معرفی
Dr. Bruce Milne is a computational and chemical biology researcher affiliated with the University of Aberdeen and the Coimbra Chemistry Center. His work bridges quantum chemistry, molecular modeling, and drug discovery, with a focus on antiviral and antiparasitic agents. He actively collaborates with multidisciplinary teams across Europe and Africa.
His research interests include computational chemistry, molecular modeling, antiviral drug design, and pharmacological evaluation of natural products. Using first-principles methods like DFT and molecular docking simulations, he investigates electronic properties of bioactive molecules and screens potential therapeutics against viral and parasitic targets.
The recent publications show a strong trend in applying computational techniques to understand molecular interactions in disease mechanisms, particularly in virology (e.g., SARS-CoV-2, cowpox) and parasitology. His work combines theoretical physics with pharmaceutical applications, contributing to early-stage drug discovery pipelines.
