Abstract
We use computational approaches to study biomolecular structures and functions. Our goal is to interpret the structural and functional information encoded in genomes and to understand life at the most fundamental level based on physical and chemical principles. Our current research effort focuses on developing reliable and efficient computational methods to study and predict structures, functions, and intermolecular interactions at atomic detail.
