Computational Chemist

Postdoctoral research fellow at the Boehringer Ingelheim

Adithya Polasa has extensive knowledge of insilco drug/antibody development, molecular simulation engines, visualization programs, and molecular models. For my current research, I am focusing on improving BindingĀ free energy calculation methods and then applying them to systems such as hFGF1 and kinase proteins. Over the course of a fruitful and lengthy professional life, I have developed specialized knowledge and expertise in the fields of computational chemistry, protein/antibody characterization, structural study, drug design, free energy calculation of activation pathaways, Drug binding free energy caclulations, and the analysis of protein/antibody transition pathways.

Also, work on the development and implementation of computational methods in the areas of biophysics, chemistry, and similar fields that rely heavily on computers. Develop parallel and optimized scientific applications for GPUs, CPUs, and traditional clusters. Find creative solutions to complex computing issues. Making progress in the field of medicine is something I am very passionate about. In addition, I hope to affect change in the pharmaceutical industry. Ability to tackle challenges head-on, engage in in-depth reflection, and keep going despite setbacks best characterizes me. Furthermore, I am a driven and hardworking person who is honest, curious, and adaptable. I aspire to one day work alongside other brilliant minds in the pharmaceutical industry to advance human health through research and development.
