Viral Pathogenesis and Antiviral Strategies: Dr. Mishra is interested in understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying viral infections, particularly focusing on the life cycle of coronaviruses. She explores the role of lipid kinases and other host factors in viral replication and pathogenesis, with the aim of developing novel antiviral therapies.
Host-Pathogen Interactions: She investigates the interactions between pathogens and host cells, including how pathogens modulate host signaling pathways to promote their survival and replication. Dr. Mishra’s research aims to identify potential targets for therapeutic intervention to disrupt these interactions and inhibit pathogen replication.
Chemical Biology and Drug Discovery: Dr. Mishra is involved in the development of chemical biology tools and strategies to modulate host cellular pathways. She is interested in designing small molecules and inhibitors targeting specific cellular components involved in disease pathogenesis, with a focus on infectious diseases and cancer.
Biopharmaceuticals and Biotechnology: She explores the use of biopharmaceuticals and biotechnological approaches for the development of novel therapeutics and drug delivery systems. This includes research on the formulation and delivery of pharmaceutical products, as well as the development of biotechnological platforms for drug discovery and development.
Environmental Remediation: Dr. Mishra is interested in environmental applications of biotechnology, such as the removal of pharmaceutical contaminants from water using nanomaterials and other advanced techniques. Her research aims to develop sustainable and efficient methods for environmental remediation.
