Nipun Malhotra's work spans two main areas: structural biology of parasite enzymes (aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases) as antimalarial and anti-parasitic drug targets, and cardiac molecular biology, particularly ion channels and calcium-handling proteins involved in heart rhythm disorders. The research combines protein crystallography and biochemical structure-function studies with translational applications in infectious disease and cardiovascular disease.
