Location: ReForm Biologics, Cambridge, MA
Position: Research Scientist
Duration: October 2014-September 2015
Description: Initially, I started doing molecular modeling as a hobby to improve my skills in understanding physical situations on a molecular scale. I learning how to use the software GROMACS from my friend and slowly started constructing computer simulations of proteins in water-based environments. I realized this skill could be highly useful when I started working for ReForm Biologics, a new company started by Soane Labs. I used molecular modeling to demonstrate interactions between protiens and their environment, including any small molecules that might be present. Because I was working on laboratory formulations at the time and could incorporate experimental and theoretical results, it allowed me to progress quickly and gain intuition about different formulation pathways.
Key Achievements:
- Created molecular models that settled deals with outside companies looking for formulation solutions
