Protein kinases are enzyme which phosphorylates many proteins and signaling molecules and thereby regulate almost all biological processes of human life. Our major work is on structure-based drug design and discovery with a focus on the identification of potent and selective kinase inhibitors. The structural features of human kinases are exploited to design of high-affinity selective inhibitors with minimum side effects, using a combination of experimental, computational, molecular, and cellular biology techniques. The selected inhibitors are further checked for its cytotoxicity and other in vivo studies to validate its potential as a therapeutic molecule. We conduct multidisciplinary, mechanism-based, translational research of the highest possible impact in the line of prevention and control of kinase-mediated cancer.
