About us

Toxicology and Computational Biology Group

Genome/Proteome to drug design protocols are obtained when advances in genomics, proteomics and molecular modelling are integrated. Advances in genomics and bioinformatics have allowed the identification of genes that code the primary sequences of hundreds of thousands of proteins, many of them being potential pharmacological targets. Several advances have been made in the field of proteomics to convert primary sequence information of biopolymers into 3D structural information.

Traditional chemical toxicity testing is an expensive and time-consuming process involving sacrifice of significant number of animals. Computational Toxicology is about researching newer and more efficient ways to manage the safety of chemicals, particularly in assessing chemicals for potential risk to human health and the environment.

We, at Toxicology & Computational Biology Group, Centre for Bioinformatics, M. D. University, Rohtak, integrate recent advances in molecular biology, chemistry and computer science to analyze chemicals and their interactions with biological systems to support discovery and designing of drug, pesticide and other relevant NCEs more effectively and efficiently with lesser of toxicological effect to human and environment, both. Our current endeavours emphasize on Drug repositioning, Drug designing, Phyto-therapeutics, Database development, Web-server tools, etc., for solving different biological/clinical issues, particularly neuro-disorders like Epilepsy, Alzheimer disease, Parkinson’s Disease, and neuro-teratogenicity.
