Research Focus: Structural and Biophysical characterization of peptide and protein therapeutics.

Background: He received his PhD in 2016, from the laboratory of Prof. Siddhartha P. Sarma at IISc, focused on solution NMR studies on the structures and dynamics of conotoxins, and the study of a nuclease domain from Helicobacter pylori. This was followed by a postdoctoral fellowship at the laboratory of Prof. Dominique Frueh, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, wherein he contributed to discovering the role of global protein dynamics as communication sensors within non-ribosomal peptide synthetase cyclization domains.
