Detalii:
Interesat in descoperirea medicamentelor, folosind informatica medicala, chimica si bioinformatica. Expert in informatica medicamentului, reprofilare de medicamente, si screening virtual. In prezent lucrez la prioritizarea de tinte pentru medicamente (targetcentral.ws). Vezi si versiunea in limba engleza.

Details:
Health informatics scientist with interests in knowledge management applied to lead and drug discovery, target and drug repurposing, translational informatics and health-record analytics. I contributed to conceptual developments for lead-likeness, systems chemical biology, and the identification of selective, potent compounds for the G-protein estrogen receptor, the formyl peptide receptors FPR1 and FPR2, the Rac1 and Cdc42 GTP-ases, and GLUT5, a fructose-only transporter. My work led to clinical trials for Raltegravir and Ketorolac, both evaluated as anti-cancer agents. I serve as PI for the NIH project "Illuminating the Druggable Genome Knowledge Management Center“ (see also http://targetcentral.ws).
