Virtual tongue to predIct the oRganoleptic profile of mediterranean
IngredienTs and their effect on hUman hOmeostasis by means of an
integrated compUtational multiphysicS platform
Taste Prediction
Predict the taste of Food of the Mediterranean Diet starting from their chemical composition, and identify specificity, selectivity and Multi-Target Properties of Food Molecular Constituents.
Natural Compound Screening and Prediction
Select single-level models to rationally screen among natural compounds for ones able to bind and activate specific targets, and integrate those models in an efficient multiscale/multiphysics simulation framework.
User-friendly web service and interdisciplinary contamination
Develop a user-friendly web-service based on cloud technology, and ensure transfer of knowledge and a multidisciplinary integration of competencies.
