Senior🎓
Top SchoolSaad Raza is a Postdoctoral Researcher and product development specialist with a decade of experience applying molecular modeling, molecular dynamics, and programming to solve pharmaceutical and biological problems. He holds a PhD in Bioinformatics and has led complex simulations—from replica exchange umbrella sampling of phytochemical and bacterial microcompartment permeability to free energy calculations with BFEE2 and FEP—demonstrating both methodological depth and practical insight into biomolecular transport. Saad has bridged academic research and industry product work, debugging and optimizing SILCSBIO pipelines and developing force field parameters for challenging chemistries like boron-containing compounds. He also maintains HPC/GPU clusters and mentors junior researchers, reflecting strong computational infrastructure and team leadership skills. Based in Newark, Delaware, Saad combines hands-on simulation expertise with product-minded rigor, and has an unusual track record of scaling simulations (from 0.21M to 9.8M atom equivalents) to probe real-world biological questions.
