Research efforts are focused on studying the protein macromolecules and their interactions with small molecules using structural bioinformatics and computational chemistry tools with focus on modeling and simulation, 3D-QSAR studies, virtual screening. We are also involved in development of predictive models using machine learning approaches for identification and design of small molecules as inhibitors against various therapeutically important drug targets. My group also focuses on developing databases and webservers to facilitate understanding of biological processes.
