Network Biology of Infection and Immunity

My research interests include computer-aided drug design, applications of artificial intelligence in structureactivity modeling for bioactive substances, development of large-scale bioinformatics and genomics tools and molecular modeling techniques.

I am the Principal Investigator of the Centre for Network Biology of Infection and Immunity and my research group uses computer-aided drug design to identify proteins that can lead to the development of new drugs and vaccines for Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus and Chlamydia.
