Getting deeper into the detection and analysis of cryptic pockets. There are so many checkpoints to decide on a druggable pocket. It reminded me of playing around FoldIt back in 2010.

From gamer to scientistโ€”full circle.

Some skills never leave you.

3 yrs as a CompChemist at Sygnature Discovery:

Grateful for 13+ projects in ultra-large SB/LB VS, glues & ternary complex modeling, PPI, & generative chemistry. Developed KNIME workflows & target prioritization pipelines driving impact.
Onward.

๐Ÿ’ก Failure is data, not defeat.
90% of drug candidates failโ€”but each flop teaches us how to win.

How are you turning setbacks into breakthroughs?

AI + Drug Discovery = Faster Cures?
AI predicts drug candidates in weeks vs. years. But can it replace the "Eureka!" moments of human intuition? Letโ€™s discuss!

๐Ÿงฌ๐Ÿ”ฌ ESM (Evolutionary Scale Modeling) models are transforming drug discovery!
By analyzing protein sequences at an unprecedented scale, these AI-driven models uncover hidden structures & functions, accelerating the development of new therapies.

๐Ÿงฌ๐Ÿ”ฌ QM/MM is revolutionizing drug discovery! By combining quantum for accuracy & molecular mechanics for efficiency, it helps us understand how drugs interact with proteins at an atomic level. This accelerates the design of more effective & targeted therapies. #DrugDiscovery #QM #Chem #CompChem

๐Ÿ”„๐Ÿงฌ Protein turnover rate is the bodyโ€™s way of refreshing itself! Proteins break down & are rebuilt to maintain cell function. This dynamic balance ensures we adapt to stress, repair damage, & regulate metabolism. Itโ€™s a 24/7 cellular renovation project!

โœจ Ever wondered why mulled wine tastes so good? It's all about chemistry! The heat releases aromatic compounds from spices like cinnamon and cloves, enhancing flavor and aroma. Plus, the sugars and spices blend seamlessly.
Cheers to science! ๐Ÿงช
