Computational Drug Design

My reserach interest covers all spectrum of Molecular Modelling, Computational Chemistry, Cheminformatics, Bioinformatics, and Database management.

Some of the current research projects are shown below.

Cheminformatics Databases

• LigFrag - a database of protein side chain/ligand-fragment interactions
• Ring Analysis in Drugs

Molecular Modelling

• Molecular Modeling of IKK gamma and vFLIP

Drug Discovery

• ChemiBank - Lead Generation and Optimization

Teaching

Drug Design, MSc and MRes
Established from 2010, this course is an in depth study of modern drug design methods from bioinformatics to molecular modeling and fragment based drug design. Sections on intellectual property and marketing provide a solid background for anyone considering a career in the pharmaceutical and health industries.
