Postdoctoral Research Associate, University of Manchester
From molecular mechanisms to therapeutic discovery
From molecular mechanisms to therapeutic discovery — I combine computational chemistry, pharmaceutical R&D experience and experimental biochemistry to study enzymes, proteins and molecular recognition, with applications in biocatalysis, biotechnology and drug discovery.
Focus areas
What I work on
Enzyme discovery & biocatalysis
Exploring and engineering enzymes for selective transformations and therapeutic biosynthesis.
Computational & AI-guided drug discovery
Applying molecular modelling, docking, molecular dynamics, quantum chemistry and machine learning to therapeutic discovery.
Molecular mechanisms & protein science
Connecting chemical reactivity, biochemical function and molecular recognition across enzymes, proteins and drug-like molecules.
Selected work
Featured projects
Enzyme Engineering for the Biosynthesis of Therapeutics
Exploring, characterising and evolving enzymes involved in the biosynthesis of therapeutically relevant molecules, with emphasis on selectivity, substrate scope and biocatalytic potential.
Computational and AI-Guided Drug Discovery
Using molecular modelling, docking, molecular dynamics, quantum chemistry and machine learning to explore therapeutic targets, predict molecular properties and support drug discovery workflows.
Molecular Mechanisms and Chemical Reactivity
Investigating how molecular structure controls chemical reactivity, selectivity and biological function through quantum chemistry, molecular modelling and mechanistic reasoning.
