Nowadays, computer simulations have been established as a fundamental tool in the design and development of new dendrimer-based nanocarriers for drug and gene delivery. Moreover, the level of detail contained in the information that can be gathered by performing atomistic-scale simulations cannot be obtained with any other available experimental technique. In this chapter we describe the main computational toolbox that can be exploited in the different stages of novel dendritic nanocarrier production-from the initial conception to the stage of biological intermolecular interactions.
