- Area of research:
Virtual screening of synthetic compounds libraries for predicting potential hit molecules against specific drug targets.
Computer-aided drug discovery for infectious and metabolic diseases.
Computational simulations for molecular understanding of biological systems, mechanistic basis of structure-function correlation and their application to design therapeutics protein-protein interaction interfaces.
Computer-assisted drug discovery
Peptidomimetics: small molecules from active peptides
Major Program 3: Big data, Multi-Omics and Biomedical Informatics
- Area of research
Mass spectrometry based identification of proteins from biological samples to study disease progression in NAFLD.
Development of a universal proteogenomics workflow for integrating genomics/transcriptomics data with mass spectrometry proteomics data for studying liver proteoforms and studying their progression in disease progression.
Development of biomolecular knowledge resources platform from large scale multi-omics data for Human Liver proteoforms using proteogenomics to facilitate disease studies.
Development of a meta-resistome webserver for rapid and comprehensive mining of antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs) from genomic and metagenomics data to infer the resistance potential of pathogen genomes/metagenomes.
Prioritization of Disease Proteins and Metabolites in NAFLD and NASH Using Big-Data Approaches
Many disease genes for NAFLD and NASH are known, but prioritization for drug target and biomarker use is necessary
This can be facilitated by integration of data on different biomolecules (genes, proteins, metabolites, PPIs, PTMs)
Big-data mining can reveal biomolecules that can be potential biomarkers or drug targets
Integrated analysis to find important proteins and metabolites
Meta-resistome web-server for mining AMR genes from NGS data
