AB - 'Open' Lab

Welcome to AB-openlab,

As the name suggests, the lab is open to anyone interested in solving scientific problems innovatively. 

You don't have to be a  science graduate for doing so!!

We work on various projects with the goal of finding innovative ways for identification of new therapeutics and diagnostic markers for neglected and rare diseases. This includes generating data for systems level modeling, predicting drug-like compounds, understanding the pharmacokinetics of anti-TB drugs for drug re-purposing with specific emphasis on host genotype, exploring mechanisms of antimicrobial resistance,, to name a few. We also attempt to understand the genome variation in context of disease association studies specially for Human Mitochondrial DNA which are known to be involved in rare diseases. The objective is to understand the molecular basis of disease biology and use the same to identify unknown indications for known drugs.

We pioneered design and development of unique platforms for community collaboration to harness collective intelligence by facilitating data-sharing and linking it with tools for better interpretation.

Recently, we have diversified into developing scientific games for education and research. 

Anyone interested in developing scientific games or designing low-cost devices for benefit of society in context of education, research and medical-care may please contact AB - anshu [at] imtech.res.in
