Areas of Interest and Research Focus

Our key areas of interest are Computational Structural Biology, Sequence Variations, Biodiversity Informatics, Cheminformatics, Drug Designing and Mass Spectrometry Data Analysis

Computational Structural Biology

• Applying computational methods to identify potential T cell epitopes for vaccine design
• Mapping disease causing mutations (especially in human) to protein structures for genotype-phenotype correlations
• Identifying the characteristics for structural domain interfaces to predict potential protein interactions

Variations at Genome, Transcriptome and Proteome Levels

• Alternative splicing events by whole genome comparisons
• Characterizing background variations from deleterious changes
• Biomarkers discovery from a Boolean based integrated approach

Computer-Aided Drug Designing

• Identification of novel and more potent lead compounds against disease targets
• Application of molecular dynamics simulation and docking strategies to study potential drug-receptor interactions
• Characterization of protein structural modifications using advanced computational techniques

Biodiversity Informatics and Cheminformatics

• Australian aboriginal medicinal plant relevance and distribution
• Bioactive characterization
• Cheminformatics studies of drugs, toxins and metabolites for predicting novel therapeutics
