Title:COMPUTATIONAL DRUG DESIGN AND ANALYSIS:A MULTIFACETED APPROACH
Speaker: MALA L. RADHAKRISHNAN (Wellesley College)
ABSTRACT:
Computation is playing an increasingly significant role in the design and analysis of drug molecules to treat disease. Using the HIV-1 protease system and other systems as case studies, I will address the many ways in which computation can specifically tackle system-specific challenges such as drug resistance and drug degradation. Theory, physics-based models, optimization methods, and phenomological larger-scale models can all be integrated into a multi-facted approach to better understand the action of current drugs and to design novel ones for the future.
