Our lab's research is focused on modeling of biological systems
and biomolecular engineering for pharmaceutical and
biomedical applications. By integrating our knowledge in chemistry, physics, biology
and computer science, we study the fundamental molecular driving forces in
chemistry and biology, such as molecular recognition and protein
structure-function relationship. With accurate in silico
prediction of molecular behavior, we seek to engineer novel molecules, from
small-molecule drugs to protein mimetics, and to nanomaterials, with controlled structure and
function for biomedical applications.
Postdoc position: talented individuals with expertise in molecular mechanics force field and/or continuum solvation model development are welcome to contact us.
Undergrad research position: We welcome qualified students who are interested in serious research on modeling and simulations. The students in the lab are involved in a broad range of research activities from drug discovery to protein and materials modeling, and to software development.
