Education

I study the molecular interactions governing biological events. In doing this I apply molecular modeling and docking simulations in computational toxicology screening, biochemical pathway analysis, and structure-based drug discovery. I also explore the biological significance of a supramolecular non-covalent interaction called the anion-pi. Most of my research time is spent at a computer terminal but at times I can also be found at the bench experimentally validating my models.
