David Ryan Koes, PhD
Removing barriers to computational drug discovery one bit at a time
About
I have a PhD in Computer Science from Carnegie Mellon
and am a Research Assistant Professor in the Camacho Lab
in the Department of Computational and System Biology
at the University of Pittsburgh. My research is to develop
novel computational algorithms and build full-scale systems to support rapid and inexpensive drug discovery.
