RESEARCH INTERESTS

My main interests are in developing small-molecule enzyme activators and inhibitors to act as drug compounds. My approach focuses on allosteric modulators for large tetrameric enzymes in the glycolytic pathway, which could provide new insight into protein modulation strategies and provide a platform for the development of novel antilipidemic agents.
