MMDDL Activities
We developed country’s first computer aided drug design and discovery laboratory at BCSIR premises. The main research interest in the MMDDL is small molecule drug design, discovery and development through integrated computational-experimental studies. The research facilities we have in three categories i) Insillico, ii) In-vittro, iii) In-vivo...

Application Investigator and Instructor at MMDDL
Fundamentally, my interest is in computational chemistry and computational biophysics with applications in drug design and discovery. Areas of interest include natural product database development, molecular modeling, chemoinformatics-ligand/structure based virtual screening, Lead optimization, ADMET prediction, QSAR, peptide based drug design, molecular dynamics simulation, and in wet lab particularly interested in enzyme activity, protein- protein interaction, binding affinity, enthalpy-entropy change, binding kinetics and cell based hit to lead screening, lead optimization, animal model for pharmacological activity screening etc.
