Anil Kumar

About

Anil Kumar was born in Bihar, India. Presently, he is working as a postdoctoral fellow in the group of Prof. G. Andrew Woolley at the Department of Chemistry, University of Toronto, Canada. He earned his PhD in 2009 from Department of Chemistry, Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, Mumbai, India working under the supervision of Prof. Susheel Durani.
Broadly my research interest is in the area of understanding the structure and folding of proteins/polypeptides and their physical interactions principles, having therapeutic uses and their relationships with other biological systems like DNA, RNA and lipids.
