This researcher works on designing and testing small molecules and chemical ligands aimed at prostate cancer, particularly compounds that target the prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA), a protein often overexpressed in prostate cancer cells. The work combines computational modeling (such as structure-activity relationship studies and molecular docking) with laboratory synthesis and biological testing to develop potential diagnostic and therapeutic agents. Some publications also branch into related areas like nanosensors for detecting metals and, more recently, AI-assisted software development.
