A Post-Doctoral Research Fellow working on Antimicrobial Resistance, One Health Approach, Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning based vaccine discovery & development for (Sexually Transmitted Infections/Neglected Tropical Diseases/Mycobacterium/Livestock Infections/Fisheries & Aquaculture) at Faculty of Medicine, Univesity Hospital Southampton, University of Southampton, England-UK in association with Ceva Sante Animale-France .
As a Computational Biologist, my main research interests focus on identifying novel drug targets, deciphering their mechanism of action and identifying the novel small molecule inhibitors to design & develop therapeutic drug and vaccine candidates.
More specifically, my main research responsibility is to use different aspects of Drug Discovery pipeline (Homology modeling, Pharmacophore generation, Molecular Docking and MD simulations) to identify and design lead molecules for Computer Aided Drug Designing for sexually transmitted infections, various kind of infectious diseases and targeting diverse set of pathogens.
I have been fortunate enough to be conferred with some of the prestigious awards during my research career like The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation Fellowship(7 times), Young Investigator Award from India & Southeast Asia, Young Scientist Award(3 times) , Outstanding Research Scholar Award(2 times), Early Career Researcher Grant form The Gates Foundation and the most recent one The BBSRC-UKRI International Partnership Funding from the government of UK.
While presenting my research findings & engaged in several collaborations across the globe I have traveled 15 times till now to the countries like UK, United States, South Korea, Singapore, Canada, Thailand, South Africa, Germany and has demonstrated my quality research in the form of several research papers and obtaining international funding grants from International funding agencies.
The ongoing research projects have secured funding from some of the prime funding agencies in India (Indian Council of Medical Research, Department of Biotechnology, Government of India) & UK (BBSRC-UKRI International Partnership Funding from UK).
