Elena Frasnetti

Elena Frasnetti studied Chemistry at the University of Insubria and the University of Pavia. During her master’s studies, she discovered her passion for computational biochemistry and drug discovery, which led her to pursue a Ph.D. in the same field. The main topic of her doctoral thesis focused on integrating Physics-based methods with Machine Learning algorithms for drug design. During her Ph.D., she spent four months as a guest at the Molecular Machine Learning team, where she worked on the use of Chemical Language Models for the development of allosteric inhibitors. This period sparked her interest in Cheminformatics, leading her to return to the group as a Postdoctoral Fellow, working primarily on active learning for drug discovery.
