Bio

Dr. Subin Mary Zachariah is a Professor in the Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry at Amrita School of Pharmacy, Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham. Since joining the institution in September 2006, she has been actively engaged in teaching, research, and mentoring in the areas of medicinal chemistry and drug discovery.

Her research is centered on medicinal chemistry and translational drug discovery, with a focus on the structure-based design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of novel small-molecule therapeutics for cancer and targeted prodrugs for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). By integrating computer-aided drug design (CADD), structure-based drug design, synthetic medicinal chemistry, and pharmacological evaluation, her research aims to develop innovative therapeutic strategies with improved efficacy, selectivity, and safety.

Her current research focuses on the structure-based discovery and synthesis of small-molecule therapeutics for triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) by targeting clinically relevant oncogenic signalling pathways and therapeutic resistance networks, including PI3K/AKT, tubulin, and the USP21/JAK2/STAT3 signalling axis. Complementing this, her research explores enzyme-activated, colon-targeted, and site-specific prodrug strategies for the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).

Her research group adopts a multidisciplinary approach encompassing rational drug design, synthesis of novel chemical entities (NCEs), and comprehensive in vitro, ex vivo, and in vivo pharmacological evaluation to accelerate the translation of promising lead molecules into potential therapeutic candidates.

Dr. Zachariah has published extensively in reputed international peer-reviewed journals, including several Q1 and Q2 journals in medicinal chemistry and pharmaceutical sciences. Her research has received over 265 citations in Scopus and over 933 citations on Google Scholar, reflecting the impact of her scientific contributions. She is a recipient of the AIRA Award in recognition of her research excellence. She actively mentors postgraduate and doctoral scholars and fosters interdisciplinary collaborations in medicinal chemistry and translational drug discovery.
