Megan O’Mara is an associate professor with the Research School of Chemistry at the Australian National University. Her work is focused on computer modelling of cells within the body and how they function in health and disease. These computer simulations are important for understanding how the human body works and crucial for aiding the development of drugs and chemotherapy. Associate Professor O’Mara has answered some of our questions to give us a better understanding about what computational chemistry is and how it can help people.
