I was born in Anta, District Baran ( Rajasthan in September 1979. It is 50 K.M. from educational city Kota Rajasthan. I was born in the medium class family. My father is farmer and business man. We are total four brothers (2) and sisters (2) and I am youngest. After finishing secondary school (1995). I have moved to Kota for further education (till 12th class in medical: Biology, 1995-1997). I was appeared in pre-medical test till 2000, finally got position in Bachelor in Dental (BDS), but I did not opted it as I already completed 1 year in B. Pharma. I have done Bachelor in Pharmacy (B.Pharm. 2000-2005) from B.N. College of Pharmacy, (Udaipur), affiliated by University of Rajasthan, Jaipur (India) in 2005. I have qualified GATE-2005 exam with 90 percentile (conducted by IIT, Mumbai). After that I moved to NIPER S.A.S. Nagar for post graduation degree [M.S. (Pharm.) in 2005] in the Department of Pharmacoinformatics and subsequently joined the Ph. D. program in the same department under the supervision of Prof. Prabha Garg and Prof. Nilanjan Roy (Director, ARIBAS, Gujrat).

The branch of pharmacy: Pharmacoinformatics is dealing in pharmaceutical sciences, chemoinformatics and bioinformatics with the application in computer aided drug design and discovery. It have also application in different discipline of sciences like chemistry, biology, genetics, biotechnology, physics, etc. This is interdisciplinary branch of sciences.

I have gained experience and proficiency in different computational techniques used for ligand based and structure based drug design such as QSAR modeling, pharmacophore mapping, virtual screening, docking, in silico toxicities and ADME prediction of small molecules, 2D and 3D similarity searching, De novo drug design, Homology modeling, Quantum mechanics and Molecular dynamics simulations. I am also curious about bioinformatics, comparative genomics, system biology, synthetic chemistry and biological laboratories.

I have got a research project (2012-13) from CSIR and worked as an Research Associate in NIPER, Mohali (under Prof. Prabha Garg). I have worked as an Assistant Professor in Centre for Computational Sciences, Central University of Punjab, Bathinda. During this Job, I have involved in teaching of different courses of computational sciences and pharmacy for more than one year (2013-2014). I have more than 7 years experience in research (including Ph.D. tenure) in the pharmaceutical and computational sciences.

I have joined the CNS active compound laboratory, Latvian institute of organic synthesis, Riga, Latvia as a Post-doctoral scientist in January 2015.

The future goal of my research career is to utilize the knowledge gained till date to scale further heights in the area of computer aided drug design and molecular modelling, contribute to the drug design and discovery society for identification of novel small scaffolds/molecules/drugs for the different diseases and help to reveal the biological phenomena using computational approaches.
