Research Update!- Materials Science and Computational Modeling

In my endeavor to create better delivery mechanisms for toxic chemotherapies, I explored different materials that could be both bio-compatible and effective at drug diffusion. Hydrogels are 3-dimensional polymer networks that are water-based, making them not only bio-compatible, but their diffusion modulable. However, with my expertise mainly lying in biochemistry and biology, diving into materials […]

Is Computational Drug Development Finally Accessible?

What is Tamarind? Tamarind is a website that makes computational biology tools available online, for example, protein design, docking, and structure prediction software. As a SAAS (Software as a Service) it streamlines the entire process of downloading, installing, learning, and using these softwares. The founders’ goal with Tamarind is to make drug discovery more accessible
