Research

In silico drug discovery program is one of the prime objectives of the Bioinformatics and Computational Biology laboratory at the Centre for Nanosciences and Molecular Medicine. The center provides high quality teaching and research to M. Tech./MSc. and Ph.D. students to make them successful interdisciplinary application scientist in the future pre-clinical drug discovery program. Computational lab provides following functionality by integrating Bioinformatics and Chemoinformatics concepts:

  • Sequence alignment, Phylogeny, Molecular Graphics Visualization
  • Homology Modeling of Biomolecules, Druggable Target Identification & Validation
  • Computer Aided Drug Design: Molecular docking, Pharmacophore mapping, 2D and 3D QSAR, Virtual screening and Molecular dynamics simulations
  • Nanomaterial modeling, Nanotoxicity effect, Polymer-Drug interactions and Drug Delivery

Work carried at the center was internationally recognized and published peer reviewed research articles funded by the Department of Biotechnology, ICMR, DST, Govt. of India. Different commercial and freely available molecular modeling and design software was installed on Windows and Linux platforms and recently High-Performance Computing facility was also established.

At present working mainly in the area of Neurological disorder, Infections and Cancer disease causing druggable targets and Nanomaterial modeling and interaction studies.
