Biography:
Currently, I am doing my Ph.D. at the Central University of Rajasthan, INDIA. Here, I am working in the field of infectious diseases, particularly Malaria, Leishmania, and COVID-19. Using Insilico and the in-vitro method, I am trying to develop new antimalarial drugs by targeting the housekeeping function of Plasmodium falciparum apicoplast. Also, I am contributing to the exploration of apoptotic pathways of Leishmania to set novel therapeutic targets to combat leishmaniasis. Furthermore, with the help of structure-based virtual screening and molecular dynamics simulation approach, we develop potential compounds that might be used to treat COVID-19.
