RESEARCH

Chemoinformatics, data mining, development of graph invariants and fixed length descriptors. Machine learning techniques for development of predictive models, similarity-diversity analysis and multivariate data analysis using artificial neural networks (KNN, CPG, BPG), genetic algorithm, classification and regression trees, multiple linear regression, random forests).

Development of micro-particulate drug delivery systems, modulation of skin/polymer membrane permeation, spermicidal activity. Experimental designs for formulation and process development of controlled/ sustained drug delivery systems, development of mathematical models to predict drug release.
