About
Dr. Vijay Kumar Srivastava has completed his Ph.D. from Central Drug Research Institute, Lucknow affiliated with Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi in Structural Biology. He worked as a DST-SERB Young Scientist and Postdoctoral Fellow at the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research, Bhopal in the area of Bioinformatics and Structural biology. From the last eight years he is teaching Molecular Biology, Structural Biology, Proteomics, and Bioinformatics.
Dr. Vijay Kumar Srivastava is a structural biologist with 11 years of research experience in the field of macromolecular X-ray crystallography and interdisciplinary areas of protein chemistry, biochemistry, molecular biology, biophysics, and bioinformatics. Our lab research interest involves deciphering the structure-function of a biological molecule in a cell with a broader intent of understanding how a cell functions as a living unit, responds to external cues, communicates with other cells, and contributes to the virulence processes in pathogenic systems. We aim to identify lead molecules against the pathogen that will be validated, examined against its growth, and tested for drug trials and development. Lead molecules will be taken for preclinical and clinical trials in collaboration with clinicians and industries to propel testing and implementation of novel antimicrobials.
