We are an interdisciplinary research group leveraging advances in artificial intelligence, bioinformatics, and systems biochemistry to map the complex relationships connecting protein sequence, structure, function, and evolution. We focus on biomedically important protein families such as protein kinases, glycosyltransferases, and ion channels that are causally associated with human diseases such as cancer, diabetes, and neurodegenerative disorders. We aim to develop personalized therapeutic strategies for these diseases based on a deeper understanding of how these proteins work in normal and disease states.
