Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Sugunadevi Sakkiah's research focuses on applying computational methods, including molecular dynamics simulations, homology modeling, and machine learning, to understand molecular interactions and predict biological outcomes. She has investigated the interactions between the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein and ACE2, contributing to the understanding of viral entry mechanisms. Her work also extends to drug discovery and toxicity prediction, with publications on machine learning models for predicting the cytotoxicity and liver toxicity of nanomaterials and other compounds.

Sakkiah has also explored the dynamics of ligand binding to proteins, such as estrogen receptor alpha (ER-α), using a combination of molecular docking, molecular dynamics, and quantum mechanical calculations. Her research interests include the development and application of databases for nanomaterials to support design and risk assessment, as well as the study of BPA replacement compounds. She has collaborated with researchers at the National Center for Toxicological Research, including Tucker A. Patterson, Wenjing Guo, and Huixiao Hong, on numerous projects.
