About Me
Research Interest
I currently focusing on several topics like Computational drug design and bioinformatics on Covid 19; follow up studis in different epidemiological disorder, medicinal plants and secondary metabolites, precision medicine especially emphasized on DNA aptamer based drug discovery for cancer treatment; anticancer effects of arsenic trioxide and its metabolites on PML-RARA fusion protein degradation in acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL), additionally the epidemiological study on arsenic toxicity in human etc.
