Short Bio
My research background is primarily in computational biology – molecular simulations, protein design, computational enzyme engineering. I also have experience in peptide synthesis and enzyme activity assays. I have been interested in the world of proteins for a long time and the possibility of making proteins with custom functions is very exciting. Other than research, I am also a tech enthusiast, and love street photography. I am not a fan when my proteins choose to die very soon but I have learnt to make the most of them. After Haloverse, I hope to use the knowledge and experience to advance industrial development of engineered enzymes for pharmaceutical uses.
