Biography

I am Numan Yousaf a bioinformatician. I have recently completed my master's in bioinformatics from COMSATS University Islamabad, where I also worked as a research assistant under the Higher Education Commission (HEC) NRPU projects entitled, "Discovery of novel nAChR antagonists using structure based approaches to control aphid pests" and "Identification of novel insecticide-like molecules to control cotton bollworm". I have a special interest in the identification and designing of small bioactive molecules that can act as lead in biophysical assays. I have identified several compounds containing novel scaffolds in my master's final year project. In my Bachelor's, I worked on phytochemicals to find their affinity against Survivin protein using the in-silco approach. I have extensive experience in Computer Aided Drug Design approaches i.e., Pharmacophore Modeling, 3D-QSAR, Molecular Docking, Structural Clustering, MD Simulation, etc. My primary skills are Linux and bash scripting. I also have a basic level of experience in Python.
