Biography
Hamid Mirzaei research is focused on finding the target of novel and FDA approved compounds using a combination of proteomics, computational biology, and biochemistry. Many FDA approved drugs are currently in use without a clear understanding of their mechanism of action. On the other hand, there are quite a few well-characterized natural products with unknown targets. He uses systems biology to understand the drug’s mechanism of action by identifying the target of the drugs and their cellular and organismal phenotypes.
