Professor Dr. Timothy Cardozo

Biography

Timothy J. Cardozo's research primarily focuses on computational molecular design of drugs and vaccines. His broad aim is to uncover reliable relationships between molecular structures and the effects of biomolecules and drugs on human physiology. He has a particular interest in the design of biologic drugs and vaccines, integrating protein engineering, structural biology, computational chemistry, and bioinformatics with artificial intelligence and data science to derive structure-activity relationships from biochemical, cellular, animal, and clinical data that guide molecular design. He has played a leading role in designing novel HIV vaccines focused on the apex of the virus envelope spike protein and has published several visualizations of large dynamic molecular complexes that unify disparate biochemical and cellular observations. Cardozo's research also explores the design of small molecule drugs, integrating computational chemistry, cheminformatics, synthetic chemistry, and pharmacological assays.
