Dr. Priyanka Banerjee

Hello, I am Priyanka Banerjee. I'm a JGroup Leader/Principal Investigator in the Institute of Physiology|Structural Bioinformatics Group, Charite-University of Medicine. As part of my position at the Institute of Physiology, Charite, I am also appointed as a lecturer at Freie University-Berlin. My group is partially funded by the DFG—Clinical Research Unit for computational food allergy prediction. 

I am a Computational Life Scientist with over 13 years of experience in computer-aided drug discovery, cheminformatics, toxicology, and predictive science. My research primarily focuses on patient-centric drug discovery, where I leverage theoretical methods integrated with experimental observations to assess drugs' risk-benefit profiles. My work aims to bridge the gap between computational models and real-world data, enhancing the precision and efficacy of drug development. 

Currently, I am engaged in developing computational models for predicting food allergies and conducting Real-World Evidence (RWE)- based data analysis for drug and biological toxicity assessments. My passion lies in advancing the field of computational toxicology and predictive science to ensure safer and more effective therapeutic interventions.
