Research area: Development of inhibitors for novel anti-inflammatory targets

Inflammation is a physiological condition associated with many commonly prevailing diseases like diabetes and asthma. Many of the drugs meant to alleviate this condition have severe side effects due to the fact that the targets of these drugs are involved in other pathways too. Hence targeting of enzymes acting further downstream in the inflammation pathway hold promise of yielding drugs with lower side effects. The goal of my work is to find develop inhibitors against a few such enzymes.
