My study focuses on enhancing precision medicine with a multimodal computational strategy that incorporates molecular docking, molecular dynamics simulations, MMGBSA free energy assessments, ADMET predictions, mutagenesis analysis, and density functional theory (DFT). Through the application of network pharmacology, I intend to elucidate the intricate molecular connections inside biological systems, pinpointing critical targets and signaling pathways that contribute to drug resistance. This comprehensive method facilitates the logical development of innovative medicinal compounds with improved pharmacokinetics, reduced toxicity, and increased target selectivity. My work integrates computational modeling with systems biology to expedite the creation of effective drug candidates customized to specific disease pathways, hence revolutionizing treatment approaches for precision medicine across various clinical conditions.
