Dr. Shubham Vishnoi

Postdoctoral Researcher

Dr Shubham Vishnoi is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Limerick, specialising in computational drug design and molecular modelling. He holds a PhD in computational biophysics from UL where his research focused on the structure-based design of peptide therapeutics and the modelling of membrane proteins, including GPCRs. His work combines molecular dynamics simulations, quantum mechanical methods and machine learning to investigate drug, target interactions, protein crystallography and bioassay data analysis.

Dr Vishnoi contributed to the development of tools and databases such as CrystalDFT and MOFPrime aimed at predicting crystal properties from fisrst principles, and the Physicochemical n-Grams Tool which enables the encoding of sequence-based protein descriptors. He also worked with the innovation team at APC Ltd., Dublin, during his SSPC co-op PhD placement, where he contributed to the development of data visualisation and machine learning tools to enhance insights into drug and material properties. His interdisciplinary expertise bridges pharmaceutical sciences, structural bioinformatics and digital health.

He actively collaborates with academic and industry partners and is passionate about translational research that accelerates the discovery and development of next-generation biopharmaceuticals.
