Areas of Specialty

Krish's group is interested in the application of tools from physics, mathematics and computer science to chemically and biologically important problems. We extensively use Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy and computer simulations to study structure and dynamics of proteins. In addition, we also use range of biostatistical and bioinformatics tools to analyze large scale experimental data, such as multiplex immunoassay for protein biomarker detection and gene-expression dynamics. Some of the ongoing research projects include:

Functional dynamics intrinsically unstructured proteins (IUPs), such as Antifreeze glycoproteins (AFGPs) and Nucleoporins (Nups) at multiple time scales
Protein hydration and hydration hydrodynamics.
Effect of external stimulus (low dose IR) on gene expression.
Analysis of Luminex based multiplex-microbead assay for a range of biomedical applications.
