Pharmaceutical scientist expert in drug design, novel compound synthesis and analysis, molecular docking & dynamics

Profile Summary

I hold a PhD in pharmaceutical sciences with a focus on structure-based drug design, molecular docking, and molecular dynamics simulations. My research extensively utilized the Schrödinger Suite (Maestro, Glide, Desmond, QikProp) to identify and optimize novel antiviral compounds, specifically targeting HIV reverse transcriptase. During my PhD and subsequent work, I designed and synthesized newer azole derivatives, combining computational and experimental approaches. I have hands-on experience in protein-ligand interaction studies, trajectory analysis, and pharmacokinetic property prediction to guide drug discovery efforts. I have contributed to multiple research publications and presentations in international forums, demonstrating strong scientific communication skills. Currently, I am engaged in advancing computational methods for viral protein dynamics and exploring innovative drug candidates for infectious diseases. My background also includes collaborative projects with interdisciplinary teams, enhancing my teamwork and project management abilities. I am proficient in scientific writing, data analysis, and interpreting complex biochemical data, aiming to support pharmaceutical research and development through precision computational tools.
