Venkat completed his PhD as a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellow within the ITN ‘Translocation’ project at the University of Cagliari, Italy, in 2017. Subsequently, he held a couple of postdoctoral positions before joining Cresset. His professional experience encompasses the application of various molecular modelling and structural bioinformatics techniques to investigate protein structure-function-dynamics relationship and protein-ligand interactions, which are pivotal for early-stage drug design and discovery. In his current role as a Senior Computational Chemistry Developer at Cresset, Venkat is responsible for developing and evaluating new computational methods for Cresset’s ligand-based and structure-based software solutions.
