WORK HISTORY
Senior Director, Head of Computational Chemistry @Ambagon Therapeutics
South San Francisco, CA, US
Established a modeling capacity to impact the structure-based drug design on molecular glue to regulate protein-protein interactions; identified novel chemical matters via virtual library screening, dynamic pharmacophore models, conformational samplings, bio-molecule simulations, and predictions by MM and QM that boosted potency over 50 times in some chemical series.• Consulted with the advisory board to facilitate data-driven decision-making and strategic planning.• Managed an external CRO, delegating tasks and tracking progress to aid drug design and discovery.
