Data-Driven Drug Discovery and Molecular Informatics

Research Associate

Current Position:

Working as research associate under Andreas Bender from Jan 2015 in an academia-industry collaborative project between Aboca, Italy and Department of Chemistry, University of Cambridge. I am involved in investigating the mode of biological action of various phytocomplexes by computational integrating of biological and chemical data. I specialise in Systems Chemical Biology, Chemoinformatics, Bioinformatics and Drug Discovery.

Skills:

Computational Chemistry: Molecular Dynamics, QM/MM, QSAR and Docking

Structural Bioinformatics:  Protein Structure Prediction, Multiple Sequence-Alignment, Homology Modeling

Systems Polypharmacology: Analysis of Mechanism of action by Integrating Differentially Expressed genes (RNA-Seq) and chemical structures

Scientific Programming: PERL, R, Python

Software and Packages: Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA), Cytoscape, KNIME, Pipeline Pilot, SYBYL, MOE, Discovery Studio, AMBER12, Schrodinger Canvas
