MK Bhan-YRFP project (Ongoing)

Title - Exploring selective ASK-1 interactome for the discovery of small molecule against NASH: a PPI driven advanced computational approach

Project on COVID-19 (THSTI)

Following the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, worked on a project that showed how envelope (E) protein of SARS-CoV-2 hijacks the host BRD4 protein as well as examined its molecular understanding, which might aid in the development of treatment options against SARS-CoV-2.

Second prize inThe Bioinformatics Education Grand Challenge Eduthon” at 1st Colloquium on Bioinformatics Learning, Education and Training (CoBLET 2022) in conjunction with 11th GOBLET AGM 2022, held on 11-14th October 2022. The award was given for providing a solution in the form of cloud-based platform “A global meta-registry of bioinformatics alliance” for a cutting-edge challenge “ways of solving geographical lack of advanced training in some bioinformatics areas” with the goal to mitigate the imbalance in bioinformatics expertise and disseminate the opportunities. The prize includes two years of individual GOBLET membership and a cash reward.
