Research summary
AI-generated

This record appears to combine work from at least two distinct research profiles sharing the same name: one focused on structural biology and biochemistry of ubiquitin-related enzymes (studying how proteins are tagged, modified, and broken down inside cells, including in the context of bacterial pathogens like Legionella), and another involving Ayurvedic/Siddha traditional medicine case studies and clinical trials. The structural biology work uses crystallography, biochemical assays, and protein engineering to understand deubiquitinases and related enzymes, with relevance to infection biology and neurodegeneration. Because the publication list mixes these very different topics, prospective students should verify which specific lab or research group they would be joining.

Publication output has grown somewhat unevenly but shows an overall upward trend over the last decade, rising from about 5 papers per year in 2017 to around 10-11 per year in 2023-2025.
