The University of Applied Sciences of Southern Switzerland (SUPSI) is one of the nine SUP Universities recognised world-wide. The modern teaching method adopted blends theoretical-scientific lessons with a vocational aspect; study commitments can also be combined with professional practice.

Great importance is placed on research, which is conducted by means of projects that are either assigned by major European and national agencies on the basis of competitive bids, or commissioned by companies and institutions.

The Multiscale Molecular Modeling (M3) is a research team working on the numerical simulation and modellization in different fields using multiscale approach.

The M3 team is presently working on two main lines of research: one is focused on new materials with the modeling and simulation of nanostructured materials, the second is focused on life science using molecular modeling for the simulation of drug delivery systems and amyloids agglomerations. The team belongs to the Laboratory of Applied Mathematics and Physics (LaMFI) in the Department of Innovative Technologies (DTI) of  SUPSI.
