Our Research
Biomedical data mining and biomarker detection
We use bioinformatics and modern data science tools to determine the expression and compare different biomarkers across various human pathological conditions using publicly available biomedical data. One of our primary focuses is to explore the potential of noncoding RNAs as biomarkers and potential therapeutic targets.
Natural product chemistry and bioactive molecule identification
We isolate, purify and characterize phytochemicals from medicinal plants that are popular all over the world. Our goal is to create a library of natural products that will be a screening library against different therapeutic targets.
Target validation and therapeutic application
After identifying therapeutic targets, we do in-vitro screening against our library of phytochemicals to find out the potential binder. All the potential binders will undergo in-vivo studies in collaboration with other research groups. Our primary interest is to find out the noncoding RNA binding molecules to understand the function of ncRNAs through regulation study and their potential as therapeutic targets.
