Kamal A. Qureshi
Summary
My research interests include the discovery of novel antimicrobial drug candidates from natural sources such as terrestrial, aquatic, and mangrove-based microorganisms and plants; the identification of novel antimicrobial drug targets; the biotransformation of some novel compounds by soil microbes; the use of rDNA technology; whole-genome sequencing and gene editing using CRISPR/Cas9; synthetic biology; and host-pathogen interactions. My routine research involves the isolation, purification, characterization, structural elucidation, and bioevaluation of novel antimicrobial drug candidates derived from soil organisms such as Streptomyces strains, Bacillus spp., etc. I am currently focusing on the discovery of anti-HIV drugs derived from soil microbes. My scientific interests are not restricted to microbiology, but begin with it and go endlessly.
