Position & Department: Associate Professor, Department of Biochemistry, Faculty of Sciences
Research Intersts: Research on Bioactive peptides/ protein including antioxidant, antimicrobial peptides is a fast growing scientific field, due to the development of development of (seems to be) unbreakable wall of resistant in the microbes against the antibiotics. I am among the warriors against this wall searching the weapon from the natural source. My group also develops many of the assays related to different metabiolobically important enzymes from animal and plant source, We have very good expertise and set up in the field of protein purification and characterization. Currently, we also started working on bacterioncins procudtion from LAB as natural preservative and functional food component. We has very good collaboration with different research groups not only within university but also others national and international groups.
Research Intersts: Enzyme Biotechnology, Clinical Biochemistry
Research Intersts: Diabetes mellitus and related complications, Bioactive compounds with antidiabetic potentials, Identification and associations of Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNP) with type 2 diabetes, Differentially expressed genes in diabetes mellitus, Botanical dermatology, Sexually transmitted infections.
Position & Department: Assistant Professor, Department of Biochemistry, Faculty of Sciences
Research Intersts: Cellular Biochemistry, Mechanisms of Programmed Cell Death
Research Intersts: CRISPR/Cas based genome editing in plants
Research Intersts: Molecular Biology and drug developmental studies of bioactive active compounds.
Research Intersts: Molecular Biology, Cell Biology, Recombinant DNA technology, and Genetic Engineering We deal with the transcriptional, translational, and metabolic studies for the treatment of diabetes, breast cancer, and liver injury. We use docking tools to find candidate drugs for the treatment of above stated diseases. We utilized prokaryotic system, cell lines, and mouse models for our research work. Along with metabolic studies, study of signaling pathway is specialty of MMGL (Mammalian Molecular Genetics Lab). For the study of these pathways, we use Western blotting. We also routinely use different software like MOE, NCBI, Ensemble, Primer quest, Mega 6.06, SnapGene, and GraphPad. a) Diabetes (drugs, phytochemicals, signaling pathway, mechanism, and in-vivo studies) b) Liver injury (drugs, phytochemicals, signaling pathway, mechanism, and in-vivo studies) c) Breast cancer (drugs, phytochemicals, signaling pathway, mechanism, and in-vivo studies) d) CRISPR/Cas9-mediated gene editing (knockout, cKO, and transgenic) e) Mouse models of human diseases for in-vivo studies f) Docking by MOE; basic tools of bioinformatics for recombinant DNA technology, primer designing g) Production of recombinant monoclonal antibodies For more detail, please visit our website: http://lifesciencesorg.com
