Research summary

This researcher works at the intersection of medicinal chemistry, drug synthesis, and infectious disease biology, covering topics like mechanochemical (solvent-free) synthesis of antiepileptic and antimicrobial drugs, nanoparticle-based drug delivery for brain and liver diseases, and the biology of Salmonella Typhi biofilms linked to typhoid fever and gallstones. The work spans designing new drug candidates for conditions such as epilepsy, Alzheimer's disease, tuberculosis, and leishmaniasis, as well as studying bacterial persistence mechanisms during chronic infection. This suggests a broad, chemistry-driven approach to problems in both pharmaceutical development and microbial pathogenesis.
