Summary
Dusica Vidovic is a Lead Scientist in Research Innovations at Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center and Assistant Director at the University of Miami with nine years of focused experience in chemoinformatics and computer-aided drug design. She leads interdisciplinary teams and projects that integrate machine learning, HTS data analysis, and both structure- and ligand-based approaches to accelerate lead optimization and virtual screening. Her skill set spans homology modeling, docking and scoring, pharmacophore modeling, and QSAR/QSPR prediction, enabling practical translation of computational predictions to experimental workflows. Dusica has deep experience coordinating large-scale data integration efforts from her long tenure managing the LINCS-BD2K DCIC project, demonstrating strong data stewardship and project management across institutions. Based in Miami, she pairs a PhD in Theoretical Chemistry with hands-on research leadership to bridge academic discovery and translational oncology. Colleagues describe her as a pragmatic problem-solver who combines rigorous computational expertise with an eye for actionable experimental validation.
