Research:
- The interface between nanotechnology and biology and the transport phenomena in living systems. Also, interested in the kinetics of biomolecules, free energy calculations, and protein-nucleic acid interactions
The Comer group uses molecular dynamics simulations, free energy calculation techniques, and other computational methods to design molecules for medical and biotechnology applications.
His research interests include rational design and virtual screening of nanomaterials for biological applications, surface interactions between nanomaterials and biomolecules, biomolecular kinetics, free-energy calculations, and ion channels and transporters.
We use molecular simulation to better understand biological and synthetic nanoscale systems and interactions between them.
