Predicting protein-protein interactions
PhD student Reyhaneh Esmaielbeiki is developing computational frameworks that can predict protein-protein interactions (PPIs). The interaction of proteins with other proteins, DNA, RNA and small molecules is essential for the functionality of living cells. Modifications in PPIs affect the events that take place within cells which may lead to critical diseases such as cancer. Therefore, knowledge about protein interactions can provide key information for drug design. Since experimental methods are costly and have limitations, Reyhaneh is developing a novel computational framework able to predict these interactions. Read more.
