I have completed my Ph.D. from Division of Molecular and Structural Biology, Central Drug Research Institute, Lucknow, India under supervision of Dr. M. I. Siddiqi. My Ph.D. research work was focused on utilizing the structure and ligand based drug design approaches for the identification and design of small molecule agents against Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
Research Interests
My current research interests lie mainly in the field of cancer drug discovery utilizing fragment-based, de novo design and structure-based drug design approaches. I am particularly interested in the development of therapeutic agents to target epigenetic processes in cancer. I am also interested in studying macromolecular complexes to understand the nature of the molecular recognition and to investigate the intricate relationship between structure and function using in silico tools.
