Urmi Bajpai, PhD
Seeking collaboration in "Sequencing and bioinformatics; Research exchange opportunities"
What I do: Focus of my research team is: i) Isolation and characterisation of mycobacteriophages and their lytic enzymes (Endolysins) and Terminases/ATPases; Exploring their anti-mycobacterial potential in collaboration with scientists working on Mycobacterium tuberculosis and NTM
Also interested in finding new methods of phage isolation.
ii) Multi-target therapy for Tuberculosis: Mur enzymes of Muramic acid synthesis pathway in the cell wall biosynthesis of Mycobacterium tuberculosis are the target proteins. Drug repurposing & discovery of new inhibitors by invitro screening using a one-pot assay developed for Mtb Mur enzymes.
