Research Interests:
Therapeutic
Discovery, Protein Engineering and
Stabilization, Biomedical Devices,
Biomaterials, Multiscale Modeling and
Simulation
Our
research program aims to understand
how the atomistic scale information
of biomolecules (chemistry) governs
processes occurring at larger scales
in the cell (biology) and applies this
knowledge in therapeutic discovery,
protein engineering and stabilization,
biomaterial science, and the design
of molecular devices (engineering).
For this purpose, computational methodologies
that can be used to propagate information
across multiple temporal and spatial
domains are being developed and applied
to study various biomolecular systems.
Current research projects include the
allosteric modulation of membrane receptors,
mechanical responses of biomolecules,
effects of shear on protein conformation
and protein-protein interactions, protein
stability at oil/water interfaces,
and the self-assembly of biomaterials.
