After completing clinical training in Hematopathology, I joined the laboratory of Prof. Barry Honig as clinical research fellow in 2012 where I worked on development and application of biophysical and bioinformatics methods to study energetic origins of protein-protein and protein-peptide interactions. Specific applications included exploration of specificity and improvement of antibodies directed against HIV-1 gp120 envelope protein. My current project is concentrating on using genome-wide protein-protein interaction networks developed in Prof. Honig’s laboratory to study cancer regulatory logic in the effort to understand the origins of cancer tumorigenesis and identify novel targets for therapeutics development.
