Research Focus

I'm a PhD student in Dr. Samudrala's research group primarily focused on contributing to drug repurposing and protein-small molecule interaction research.

My research interests include: large scale / multi-target virtual screening; molecular docking and dynamics; drug repurposing and design; protein - small molecule interaction; applied machine learning; protein functional, dynamic, structural, and compositional relationships; feature analysis of functionally, structurally, or compositionally significant portions of proteins (e.g. known binding sites); simulating biological systems; and simulations in general.

I also try to develop tools to increase productivity and to scale up computational analysis of proteins, compounds, and their interactions.

Though each member of the group has their own set of primary research interests, much of it aligns to play a role in the development of CANDO (Computational Analysis of Novel Drug Opportunities); our drug repurposing prediction platform.

It's a privilege to have the opportunity to work alongside a group of wonderful, talented, and collaborative people in the Samudrala research group and the rest of the Department of Biomedical Informatics.


Publications

First authorship positions are designated with emphasis, except in cases of equal contribution / co-first authorship -- in which case both names are emphasised and additionally denoted with superscript $ signs


Selection of software development relevant to my research

I've written a lot of really bad software, too.
