Overview

It is said that “Chemistry is the central Science” because it lies in the intersection points between multiple fields such as Physics, Biology, and Engineering, to cite a few. One could say that the same assessment applies to Physical Chemistry within Chemistry because it provides Chemistry with the rules of the game: everything from spectra to phenomena observed in a wet lab, Physical Chemistry will, at least, give some clues on how to run our studies. I am interested in the interface between Chemistry, Physics, Biology, Pharmacology and Computation, thus my research is focused on issues pertaining these fields.

Amongst my research and academic interests:

• Mechanisms of receptor-ligand/host-guest binding
• Development of DOCK6, a protein-ligand docking software in partnership with SBU/UCSF
• Free Energy calculations in Drug Design
• Computer Literacy for Chemists
