He teaches Chemistry and Chemical Biology and seeks to understand the structural determinants of enzymatic specificity and reactivity using a combination of computational protein design and experimental characterization. His research team's goal is to develop a quantitative and predictive understanding of specificity at protein-ligand and protein-peptide interfaces; which will inform various therapeutic and synthetic applications. Prior to working at Rutgers, Prof. Sagar Khare was a Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Washington in Seattle, Washington. He was also a Software Engineer for Affymax Research Institute in Bangalore, India. Posted by
