Our laboratory is dedicated to understanding how chemical structures drive biological function. We operate on the principle that every molecule contains a blueprint of its behavior—its therapeutic promise, its toxicity risks, and the cellular programs it can influence.
We transcend traditional structure-based analyses by embedding molecules into a unified bioactivity–chemical knowledge space. This integrated representation enables us to interpret a compound’s properties in relation to its biological outcomes, strengthening predictive accuracy and mechanistic interpretability.
To build high-fidelity models, we layer chemistry with multi-omics evidence: genes, pathways, mutations, phenotypes, and decades of curated biological knowledge. These datasets together reveal the systems-level impact of molecular perturbation.
We design and deploy cutting-edge computational approaches, including multimodal machine learning, deep neural networks, and emerging large language model frameworks. Our methods resolve hidden structure–function relationships and accelerate the discovery of novel therapeutics, safety liabilities, and disease mechanisms.
