Getting deeper into the detection and analysis of cryptic pockets. There are so many checkpoints to decide on a druggable pocket. It reminded me of playing around FoldIt back in 2010.

From gamer to scientist—full circle.

Some skills never leave you.

3 yrs as a CompChemist at Sygnature Discovery:

Grateful for 13+ projects in ultra-large SB/LB VS, glues & ternary complex modeling, PPI, & generative chemistry. Developed KNIME workflows & target prioritization pipelines driving impact.
Onward.

💡 Failure is data, not defeat.
90% of drug candidates fail—but each flop teaches us how to win.

How are you turning setbacks into breakthroughs?

AI + Drug Discovery = Faster Cures?
AI predicts drug candidates in weeks vs. years. But can it replace the "Eureka!" moments of human intuition? Let’s discuss!

🔄🧬 Protein turnover rate is the body’s way of refreshing itself! Proteins break down & are rebuilt to maintain cell function. This dynamic balance ensures we adapt to stress, repair damage, & regulate metabolism. It’s a 24/7 cellular renovation project!

✨ Ever wondered why mulled wine tastes so good? It's all about chemistry! The heat releases aromatic compounds from spices like cinnamon and cloves, enhancing flavor and aroma. Plus, the sugars and spices blend seamlessly.
Cheers to science! 🧪
