Research Interest

Using Chemoinformatics , Systems Biology and Machine Learning algorithms to find an application in the following:

  1. Using systems biology approach to identify new targets for existing anti-TB drugs (drug repositioning) with high specificity and efficacy.
  2. Developing in-silico classification models to identify potential hits against Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
  3. Network Modeling of the metabolic pathway of Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
  4. Database development for community driven scientific studies
