Biography
I have got my doctoral degree in month of Oct. 2017 from prestigious Vellore Institute of technology, Vellore, India and currently serving as an assistant professor in LPU India. As a young researcher, I am working on drug resistance using bioinformatics tools as well as wet lab techniques. In our lab, we are collecting data from PDB and Pubchem (Natural compounds) and subjecting those candidate molecules to virtual screening techniques using Lipinski rule of five. Molecules were checked for carcinogenicity, toxicity and reproductive effects using bioinformatics tools. Now I am working on Exploring the riddles of codon usage patterns and host adaptation of Mayaro virus genome and Its Consequences for Vaccine Development and Genome Evolution. I aspire to continue working on unsolved questions in vaccine bioinformatics.
Achievements: I have been awarded with Travel grant award from New York University, Abudhabi (Only Indian to receive this award) and presented a poster on ''Managing albendazole resistance in parasitic worm infestations utilizing traditional plant sources (Andrographics paniculata) : Bioinformatics strategy.’’
• I have been awarded with Bursary Award by Wellcome Genome Campus Advanced Course United Kingdom to attend Working with Parasite Database Resources at Monash University, Malaysia.
• My work has been published in international journals such as Journal of Molecular modeling (Springer Germany), Molecular Informatics (Wiley), Indian Journal of Biochemistry and Biophysics(CSIR- India).
