Research Intrest

Crystallography and CryoEM structural studies of complexes of signal transduction proteins in Cardiovascular Disease, proteins involved in Mycobacterium Tuberculosis. Life shows its spectacular colours in its myriad diversity, yet life shares certain fundamental common elements like proteins, DNA etc. Students and researchers can build upon kn
