Undergraduate Thesis: "Identification of Novel Inhibitor for Human Carbonic Anhydrase IX Using Pharmacophore-Based Virtual Screening, Deep Learning-Based De Novo, and Molecular Docking Approaches"• Developed a pharmacophore model based on acetazolamide to screen in-house compounds for targeting Human Carbonic Anhydrase IX. • Used MOE software for molecular docking to analyze drug interactions with human Carbonic Anhydrase IX. • Generated novel compounds using a deep learning de novo approach with a pharmacophore-screened precursor.

• Reviewed assignments, hosted biweekly office hours, oversee examinations.• Provided individual and group session tutoring support to students.• Coordinated and executed Microbiology laboratory sessions.

Research Goal: Phytochemical analysis of various plant extracts for detection of saponins, flavonoids, terpenes, sterols, and phenols to evaluate their efficacy against the rice weevil (Sitophilus oryzae).Advisor: Dr. Rasheed Akbar Department of Entomology
