A spin-off of the University of Verona
Founded in Verona in 2025, Discovera grew out of the Applied Bioinformatics Group at the University of Verona. We develop DiscoveraVS, an online virtual screening platform, and use the same scientific methods in custom discovery projects with partners.
who built this
Scientific depth, built into usable software
Discovera was built by computational drug discovery scientists from the University of Verona ecosystem, with expertise spanning computational biochemistry, cheminformatics, molecular modelling, virtual screening, molecular dynamics and off-target liability modelling.
The company combines method development, software execution and commercial delivery in one team, so the same scientific reasoning behind DiscoveraVS also supports partner projects.
Computational drug discovery
