K.V. SASHIDHARA, Ph.D.
Principal Scientist,Division Of Medicinal and Process Chemistry
Identification of bioactive compounds from medicinal plants/microbes
Development of new methodologies for the synthesis of
medicinally active heterocycles
Drug Discovery and Development:
The research in my group involves the rational design and synthesis of biologically important natural and synthetic compounds of biomedical significance and development of new organic synthetic methodologies.
Natural Product Chemistry:
Another area of active interest includes natural product chemistry. Natural products represent the richest source of novel molecular scaffolds and chemistry. It is hard to predict in advance, the details of how a natural product will interact with the myriad of targets that we now know drive fundamental biological processes. Natural product isolation by activity directed fractionation and structural elucidation remain an important area of research in our lab.
