I’m a research assistant at the GCA Bioinformatics Lab @ UIUC whose research interests include the evolution of SARS-CoV-2 and how mutations affect structure and function. I map these changes using AI tools and now I aim to study the functional distortion caused by mutations through Molecular Dynamics approaches to see how the proteins interact differently with host cells and antibodies. Interests: Structural Bioinformatics, Phylogenetics, Systems and Network Biology, Genomics.
