Reseach interests and ongoing projects:

RNA Junction Database - a databas of 3D RNA junctions extracted from PDB entries for the purpose of RNA nanostructure design. All the junctions have been subjected to energy minimization in Amber (reaching nearest local minimum), and their RMSD relative to the initial structure and the minimized 3D coordinates are also available.

Utilization of our Massively Parallel Genetic Algorithm MPGAfold to determine multiple functional structures (states) of RNA sequences, such as those we have shown for the HDV Type III, HIV 5'UTR, hok/sok and pstvd systems (see publications).

StructureLab - a heterogeneous computing environment workbench for multifaceted RNA secondary structure prediction and analysis. You can download binaries of this software package for PC/Linux and SGI/Irix platforms.

Here is a list of publications I have co-authored, presentations and attended conferences, and here is my resume.
