Why Computational?
-
Unifies chemistry and biology, providing a molecular-level view of physical systems.
-
Deploys predictive simulations (MD, QM/MM, AI) to model complex molecular dynamics that are otherwise unobservable.
-
Transcends experimental boundaries, overcoming limitations in timescale, cost, and physical accessibility.
-
Drives research by generating testable hypotheses, enabling rational design, and providing deep mechanistic insight.


My Research Journey
As a computational biochemist, my research focuses on molecular interactions, protein structures, and drug design.
I apply virtual screening, molecular docking, and dynamics simulations to identify and analyze potential drug candidates.
I’ve contributed to building a curated database of Indian medicinal plant phytochemicals and validated potential inhibitors through literature review.
I also assist collaborators on projects involving computer-aided drug design and protein aggregation studies.
