WATOC 2014 – Virtual edition
I had a blast last week at WATOC2014 in Santiago de Chile! It was a wonderful opportunity to find old friends, meet new ones and listen to some exciting research done around the world, as well as some of the classics such as Pekka Pyykkö, who was awarded the Schrödinger medal. I decided to share my talk on SlideShare.com but also here because I found at WATOC that many many people seem to like this little space of mine! I was shocked, flattered but mostly happy to know that this little blog of mine is well regarded.
So, without further ado, here is my presentation at WATOC2014, please read the captions on each image for context. Feel free to make any comments, sharing or liking. Thanks for clicking!

Administration of a drug follows one of these two extreme pharmacokinetic pathways. Either way, drugs accumulate in non-target tissues, are wasted and cause undesired secondary effects.

Ideally, a drug should arrive to the target tissue. Several polymolecular drug carriers have been developed.

Interaction energies were calculated with the NBODel approach, in which elements of the Fock Matrix common to two molecular fragments are deleted

This deletion yields a new Fock matrix which is re-diagonalized; the increase in energy is ascribed to the interaction between both fragments.

A comercial error has released two isomers to the market, only one of them actually works. CAN WE GENERATE A RECOGNITION AGENT??

Also, Imatinib is cardiotoxic. We research now the competence between allegedly affected enzymes and the carriers to at least delay the toxic effect.

Thanks to all of these wonderful guys who made all publications possible (and also those who gave the money)
If you made it this far, let me tell you that this is also available at Slideshare.com 🙂
Thanks for reading, commenting and sharing!

Gracias por la presentación!
Con gusto! Gracias a ti por visitarla!
Lástima que no pudimos verla! Me encanta su idea de mostrar la presentación y hacerla disponible facilmente a todos! Ojala más investigadores tuvieran esa iniciativa. Esperemos verlo nuevamente.
Muchas gracias, Nico, y muchas gracias también por el artículo que me pasaste. Saludos!
