Research focus
Many medically important receptors are dynamic rather than rigid. Small molecular changes can alter their function, drug response, and downstream biological effects in ways that are difficult to observe directly.
My main focus is molecular modelling in drug-relevant receptor systems. I also work on a melanoma clinical research manuscript arising from earlier applied biostatistics research.
Current PhD research
I study how small changes in signalling molecules can cause the same immune-cell receptor to trigger different cellular responses. Using CCR5 as a case study, I examine how these molecular differences reshape receptor behaviour and downstream effects, with implications for rational drug design.
Interactive viewerEarlier research
This project began during an earlier internship in biostatistics and is now being prepared as a manuscript. We study whether sentinel lymph node biopsy is justified by measurable improvement in outcomes, given that surgical procedures also carry risks. We address this using time-to-event analyses in large melanoma cohorts.
