Dr. Yanting, Xing
Postdoc.
Bioinformatics, Genomics, and AI
Ph.D. of Clemson University, SC, USA
BS. North University of China, China
Focuses on Machine Learning platform by integrating data from SMM, biological assays, and simulations (molecular dynamics and docking) to UniMomo and perform self-test chemical/scaffold generating pipeline.
Dr. Yakkala Prasanna Anjaneyulu
Postdoctoral Associate
Medicinal chemistry
Focuses on the Designee and synthesis of TOX-directed PROTAX chemical probes using a validated TOX-binding scaffold. His broader research interests include medicinal chemistry, drug discovery, cancer biology, and translational therapeutic development.
Omar L. Guzman
Doctoral student in Biochemistry, TXST
Nutrition and metabolism have always been passions of mine. Originally from Jacona, Michoacán México and having athletic goals in long distance running, biochemistry has become a tool to develop as both an athlete and chemist. The ability to exploit downstream effectors for therapeutic uses and ultimately make a difference in people's lives is what I strive to accomplish.
