Computational Approaches to Assist Drug Discovery & Precision Medicine


On my YouTube channel, I share short videos discussing molecular modeling and AI tools, many of which are also listed on this website.


Hello, I'm Bruno Villoutreix, director of research in France. This site reports tools that assist early stage drug discovery. New tools are added weekly.

  • Keywords: Drug Discovery, Virtual Screening, Structural Bioinformatics, Computational Pharmacology, ADME-Tox, Genetic Variants & Mutations, Machine Learning & AI
  • Philosophy: This site is designed to organize and store tools and datasets to support your drug discovery or bioinformatics projects. You can also explore related video content on my YouTube channel: @AI-Biotech-Studio.
  • How: Over the past two decades, I’ve collected hundreds of URLs pointing to online tools, standalone software, databases, and datasets, making this a practical resource hub for researchers and students alike.
  • History: The site began around 2007 with ~500 links focused on Virtual Ligand Screening. Today, it has expanded to cover the broader landscape of AI-driven drug design and precision medicine tools.
  • Chat with the HTML pages: A simple way is to copy and paste the URL of the page into Google NotebookLM (or others), and then ask questions about the tools and datasets.

NB: If helpful for your work, please cite: Singh, Chaput and Villoutreix. Virtual screening web servers: designing chemical probes and drug candidates in the cyberspace. Briefings in Bioinformatics, 2021.
