Research Interests:

Computer-Aided Drug Design, QSAR, Molecular Similarity: Our research focuses on the development of methods for computer-aided drug design, the application of quantum chemical methods to molecular structure, receptor-ligand binding activity, and QSAR studies with traditional regression and neural network approaches based on calculated molecular properties from quantum mechanical methods. Our ultimate goal for computer-aided drug design is to provide some useful drug candidates for synthetic chemists before they start their synthesis.
