About
Dr. Saleem Iqbal is an award recipient for Structural Virology-SARS-CoV-2 project. He currently works as Senior Postdoctoral fellow at Institutes for Systems Genetics, Frontiers Science Centre for Disease-related Molecular Network, West China Hospital. His current work focusses on SARS-CoV-2 drug discovery therapeutics. As a Neuroscientist, Biophysicist, Crystallographer and structural bioinformatician, he uses his expertise in protein folding, System Biology, Molecular modelling, Ligand design, SAR, Molecular dynamics simulations to understand and study important human diseases such as Alzheimer’s Disease, Parkinson’s disease, COVID-19 therapeutics and Cancer at different interfaces. He has been Visiting Professor at the School of Pharmaceutical Education and Research at Jamia Hamdard University and School of Biotechnology at Bennett University. He earned his Ph.D., in Bioinformatics-Crystallography and Biophysics-Interdisciplinary from prestigious Biophysics Department, University of Madras- which is home of pioneering discoveries viz., Triple Helical Structure of Collagen, the famous Ramachandran plot for the protein structure and application of anomalous scattering methods. He worked as Research Associate for Prostate Cancer therapeutics at Bioinformatics Lab funded by Department of Biotechnology, India. He also worked as Senior Research Associate at Prestigious Department of Computational and Data Sciences (CDS), Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore., where his publication on secretase biology "Discovery of microRNAs as biomarkers targeting the delta secretases" is a key finding in Alzheimer’s Disease. He is recipient of various travel awards. Dr. Saleem Iqbal major projects have been funded by Alzheimer’s Association, EMBO and CIHR.
