Vinay Nair is a computational chemist pursuing impactful small-molecule anti-cancer drugs. He has 8+ years of experience in applying complex molecular dynamics simulations in high-performance computing environments to probe protein/membrane structure and dynamics. Currently, he is an industrial postdoc at the Institute for Applied Cancer Science (IACS) at the UT MD Anderson Cancer Center, where he is a part of multiple drug discovery programs being prosecuted at IACS. In his current role, he is gaining expertise in state-of-the-art in computer aided drug design, while being exposed to the industry standard of drug discovery and development. During his postdoc, he has gained expertise in industry-standard tools such as CCG MOE, Schrodinger, AMBER for prosecuting drug discovery programs. Further, he has gained experience in utilizing his background as a computational and experimental researcher to interface with different functional areas and make a positive impact to the drug discovery programs. His long term goal is to transition these skills into a successful career as a drug discovery researcher.
