Dr. Michael Goldstein is a computational chemist with a PhD from Boston College, where he worked under Professor Udayan Mohanty. He used computational chemistry to identify a novel antibiotic target in the ribosome, characterize the thermodynamics of polysulfides in the magnesium sulfur battery, and uncover the mechanism of selectivity of a short RNA binding to a protein of interest.

After graduate school, he worked as a Solutions Scientist at Cresset, where he assisted clients with Cresset's suite of computer aided drug design (CADD) tools. He specializes in the use of molecular modeling to increase the efficiency of drug and material discovery.
