Our research focuses on applying computational and theoretical methods to understand and quantitatively predict fundamental biological processes such as protein-ligand binding, solvation, and solubility. We seek to provide an atomically detailed understanding of these processes at a level of accuracy that can be useful in industrial applications.

Martin Amezcua graduated from CSUF with a B.S. in Biochemistry. During this time, under the tutelage of Dr. Nicholas Salzameda, his research work involved computational modeling and docking, synthesis, and evaluation of dipeptide small molecules as potential counter measures against Botulinum Neurotoxin-A. He entered UCI’s Pharmaceutical Sciences PhD program in 2018, where he joined the Mobley Lab. His current work is primarily on the SAMPL (Statistical Assessment of the Modeling of Proteins and Ligands) challenges to test and study computational methods and tools for predicting binding thermodynamics of host-guest systems to help improve their accuracy for computer aided drug design.

Trevor Gokey earned an MS in Computer Science at San Francisco State University and a BA in Psychology from CSU Long Beach. He works with OpenFF to design force fields, where he focuses on efficient ways to encode and search chemical space. His interests are at the intersection of high performance computing and multiscale modeling. Outside of research, Trevor enjoys roasting coffee and perfecting espresso, building clusters, and pipe organs.

Aakankschit (AK) Nandkeolyar graduated with a B.S. and M.S. in Biomedical Engineering from Drexel University in Philadelphia. He completed an internship with the automation team at GLaxoSmithkline (GSK) where he found an interest in the pharmaceutical sciences. AK worked on curating a dataset of physical properties for the blind challenge series SAMPL (Statistical Assessment of Modeling of Proteins and Ligands). AK continued his collaboration with GSK through his graduate research at Drexel, which focused on building machine learning models to predict clinical outcomes in patients based on data obtained from quantitative systems pharmacology models. At the Mobley Lab, he continues to work on the SAMPL project evaluating different modeling methods for accuracy in predicting physical properties.
