Research summary

Arun K. Ghosh's research centers on synthetic organic chemistry, particularly the design and asymmetric synthesis of complex molecules and drug candidates. A major focus is developing potent inhibitors targeting HIV-1 protease, using structural studies (X-ray crystallography) to guide molecule design, alongside work on antimalarial, antiviral (including COVID-19 treatments), and other bioactive natural products. Note that several publications listed under this name (on literature, poetics, and social science topics) appear unrelated to this chemistry research and may reflect a different author with the same name.
