I am a physicist, a founder and a CEO of Peptone. My background is in experimental NMR spectroscopy and computational molecular dynamics of Intrinsically Disordered Proteins.
Intrinsically Disordered Proteins are involved in very many debilitating human disorders including Alzheimers and Parkinsons.
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy.
I studied NMR as it is unique in its ability to capture dynamics of disordered proteins.
Peptone.
My academic research led me to a belief that NMR and computational physics hold the key to designing potent drugs against Intrinsically Disordered Proteins.
This is why I founded Peptone.
At Peptone, we translate complex physics of disordered proteins into novel medicines.
Working in drug discovery and building Peptone is exhilarating and humbling.
“You’re unlikely to discover something new without a lot of practice on old stuff, but further, you should get a heck of a lot of fun out of working out funny relations and interesting things.”
— Richard P. Feynman
I love outdoors.
I was incredibly lucky to turn my passion for alpinism into an outdoor photographer’s work. For more than four years, I have been covering outdoor sports, mountaineering and climbing. I was fortunate to have my work featured by National Geographic, Outside, The Atlantic and New York Times.
When the weather turns bad and staying out is not an option,
