Discovery's Edge
Visualizing the Molecules that Cause Infectious Disease: Seeing with Supercomputers
Yuan-Ping Pang, Ph.D. established the Computer-Aided Molecular Design Laboratory (CAMDL) with two primary goals in mind: to learn more about how biological systems function and to establish models that could lead to new treatments for infectious diseases and cancer. Dr. Pang's primary research interest is the development and application of novel methods for drug discovery. To date, Dr. Pang has designed and synthesized two drug candidates that have been commercialized.
