Welcome
Showcasing my research journey in computational chemistry
Research
I am researching second generation antipsychotic drugs, with a focus on improving our understanding of how ligand behavior differs between Dopamine-2 and Dopamine-3 receptors. I use Chimera, AutoDock, AMBER, and HiPerGator to run molecular dynamics simulations.
I had the idea for this project, and propsed it to my PI Dr. Perez, who has given me his full support. This is currently an individual project that I am working on as a member of Dr. Perez's team.
My goal in this research is to expand our knowledge of antipsychotic drug behavior, in order to improve the treatment process.
