Bioorganic Chemistry Research Laboratory
My research experience is mainly in the field of Organic/Bioorganic Chemistry. Research interests in our group include the design and synthesis of organic/inorganic compounds or fluorescently labeled compounds having potentials relevant to different biomedical processes that lead to various disease states such as cancer or inflammatory diseases. We undertake a number of analytical, kinetic, biochemical and biological (in vitro and cellular)assay methods/strategies to evaluate their potencies. Suitable computational approaches are adopted to further support our experimental findings.
