Research works

My research area is Chemical Biology where I deal with synthesizing, characterizing and testing various natural product based multi-targeting pharmacophores for treating Diabetes and pioneer new areas of drug discovery.

Natural products, being a bedrock for the discovery of new drugs, our  research group are more inclined to study the pharmaceutical benefits of natural product based compounds as well as enhancing its therapeutic effects by synthetically modifying its structure. Single drug and single therapeutic effect and side effects often limits the drug effectiveness in treating multifactorial diseases such as diabetes, cancer, cardiovascular diseases and so on. Thus, we make use of the advantages of natural products  to get a multimodal drug that can target multiple factors behind the diseases to get most potent therapeutic agents without any cytotoxicity.

I am also interested in mammalian cell culture, cytotoxicity analysis, and cell imaging in both cancer & normal cell lines.
