About
Dr. Abhishek Kumar Verma is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biotechnology at JECRC University, Jaipur, India. He holds a Ph.D. in Bioinformatics with specialization in Structural Biochemistry and Computer-Aided Drug Design from Manipal University Jaipur. His research focuses on computational drug discovery, structural bioinformatics, molecular docking, molecular dynamics simulations, pharmacophore modeling, and AI-assisted therapeutic development.
His work is primarily centered on identifying novel therapeutic candidates against antimicrobial-resistant pathogens, including Mycobacterium tuberculosis and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), as well as cancer-associated molecular targets. He has extensive experience in structure-based drug design, natural product screening, protein-ligand interaction analysis, and computational investigation of disease-associated proteins.
Dr. Verma has authored more than 40 peer-reviewed publications, book chapters, and edited books in the fields of drug discovery, bioinformatics, antimicrobial resistance, cancer therapeutics, and infectious diseases. He serves as a reviewer for several international journals and actively collaborates with researchers worldwide on multidisciplinary projects involving computational biology and medicinal chemistry.
His current research interests include antimicrobial resistance, tuberculosis drug discovery, cancer bioinformatics, natural product-based therapeutics, molecular simulations, and the integration of artificial intelligence into drug discovery and precision medicine.
