SCHOLARS@TAMU

I am an Assistant Professor of Pharmaceutical Sciences at Texas A&M Rangel College of Pharmacy (RCOP). I obtained my Ph.D. at Okayama University, Japan, in 2007. Since that, I have acquired ample experience in drug discovery research. I completed more than 5 research grants (as PI, Co-PI, and Consultant), I received an initial grant (as PI) at RCOP funded by an international foundation, and recently, I got additional three grants (as PI and Co-PI). I have published more than 50 peer-reviewed articles in the field of Medicinal Chemistry and Computer-Aided Drug Discovery. I have served as an ad hoc reviewer for many scientific journals, as an active member of several scientific associations, and as a Chair of the Admission Committee at RCOP. Moreover, I have extensive experience in the teaching of Medicinal Chemistry and Drug Design for more than 25 years. During my teaching capacities, I received an excellent evaluation from Pharmacy students to get an honor of "Teacher of the Year" in 2017 and "Teaching Team of the Year" from 2013 to 2017 at RCOP.
