We are primarily recognized as people doing molecular simulations. However, our research extends beyond that scope. I'm delighted to announce that our new state-of-the-art laboratory dedicated to combating drug-resistant bacteria is now fully operational. Be careful. ⚠️😋

My lifelong dream has been to use machines to accelerate discoveries in biology. Cell Host & Microbe Using AI we discovered antibiotics in Neanderthals and Denisovans, our closest hominid relatives. Molecular de-extinction opens new avenues for drug discovery cell.com/cell-host-micr…

BREAKING NEWS The 2023 #NobelPrize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded to Katalin Karikó and Drew Weissman for their discoveries concerning nucleoside base modifications that enabled the development of effective mRNA vaccines against COVID-19.

I gave a talk at the Molecular Biophysics Unit, IISC, on the design of membrane pore-forming peptides that kill resistant bacteria. It was an enlightening discussion with an enthusiastic audience, including Anand Srivastava and colleagues. Molecular Biophysics Unit, IISc IISc Bangalore CEITEC

Unfortunately, fewer and fewer people are working on antibiotic discovery, while the rise of drug-resistant infections poses a serious threat to global health and the economy. Sadly, this could lead us into a post-antibiotic era.
