Research Interests
My research interests are in drug design, computational chemistry and Molecular Modeling. I am interested in working with various drug receptor systems such as the sigma receptor, nicotinic.muscarinic, antimalarial and other receptors. I develop pharmacophores, do structure activity correlations and design new ligands which act as agonists or antagonists for the different receptors.
