Proteins are some of the most fascinating and complex macromolecules in living systems that play extraordinarily diverse roles in sustaining life. These roles are mediated through the interactions that proteins make both with other proteins and with different molecular constituents of the cell. 
I am currently officially retired but still actively pursuing research in collaborations with colleagues at the CSB and world-wide. My main interest is on investigating the principles (structural, energetic and dynamic) that govern protein interactions and function. To this end I employ my expertise in molecular simulation and modeling techniques to study protein-protein protein-DNA, and protein-ligand interactions at the atomic scale. I am furthermore keen on analyzing the properties of known protein structures and sequences to gain insight into how evolution has shaped the functional specificity of proteins. In parallel to these molecular level investigations, I am keenly interested applying quantitative and integrative computational approaches to analyze physical and functional interactions between proteins at the cellular level, including those in systems forming liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS), and to extract physiologically meaningful information from protein interaction data produced by various proteomics techniques.
