Bio

My broad research interests span a wide range of topics in chemistry and biophysics, including protein-nucleic acid interactions, chromatin, epigenetics, protein folding, viral infection, and immunology. Currently, my research group focuses on developing physics- and chemistry-based simulations, as well as data-driven methods, to enable predictive modeling and simulations of biomolecular interactions, with the ultimate goal of understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying various diseases. By leveraging increasingly abundant experimental data, my long-term research goal is to develop predictive computational tools that quantitatively characterize biological processes from the molecular to the system levels, ultimately accelerating the design of molecules for improved therapeutic efforts to improve human health.
