Assistant Professor at Vanderbilt University. MD/PhD who doesn't practice medicine. I am interested in biomolecular motion and drug design. Computational biology, multiscale modeling, cheminformatics, opioid receptors, EGFR kinase
My first manuscript as an independent PI, and my first single-author research article, is now published in @pnas.org. It's an attempt to contribute to the dialogue on generalizability in structure-based protein-small molecule affinity prediction with neural networks.
