Abstract
The overall goal of our lab is to develop and apply state-of-the-art computational tools for rational drug design. In this talk, I will present our recent advances in targeting protein-protein interactions, developing machine-learning based protein-ligand scoring functions, and advancing deep learning models in chemistry.
