What I'm looking for

I'm seeking to apply and grow my background in computational structural bioinformatics research.

At Manipal School of Life Sciences, I studied how the neuronal polyamine transporter SLC45A4 recognizes its substrates. I analyzed molecular dynamics simulations and jointly led the manuscript as first author; the work was published in the International Journal of Biological Macromolecules.

I also fine-tuned ESM2 with PyTorch for a proof-of-concept framework predicting mutation-induced stability effects in membrane proteins. My research has also included a generative peptide and small-molecule design pipeline using PocketXMol, and I'm seeking to apply and grow my background in computational structural bioinformatics research.
