Profile Summary

Holding a 2023 PhD in Chemistry (University of Madras, thesis awarded with 1 % similarity index anti-plagiarism certificate), with direct, hands-on experience in the exact computational workflow used in the initial stages of pharmaceutical drug discovery: target-based virtual screening, quantum-chemical characterization of hits, reactivity-site identification, molecular docking, and early ADMET filtering. I am fully available and highly motivated to contribute immediately to an industrial drug-discovery pipeline — particularly in the hit-to-lead phase, where quantum-informed reactivity analysis and early ADMET filtering are critical for reducing downstream attrition. My thesis was on computational tools rooted in quantum and molecular mechanics to analyze the reactivity of chosen drugs. I selected 35 FDA approved and 59 natural drugs. My research encompassed tasks such as geometry optimization using DFT and MP2 methods, quantum chemical descriptor analysis, electrostatic potential mapping, Frontier molecular orbital studies, and other computational investigations on specific drugs. Additionally, Molecular Docking and ADMET were employed as screening techniques. Performed ADMET profiling for 94 drugs, evaluating pharmacokinetics and toxicity to optimize and repurpose drugs- predicted drug-likeness and safety profiles, supporting lead optimization and repurposing opportunities, accelerating drug discovery. These conclusions offer a precise and thorough assessment of their potential intermolecular interactions and biological activities.
