RESEARCH INTERESTS
( Publications |
Ongoing Projects )
Last Updated on 27-Aug-2008
As a dermatologist and
bioinformatician my research mainly involves application of
bioinformatics techniques and tools in dermatological conditions. My
research interests are varied as I am interested in a wide range of
theoretical and practical issues in dermatology. I have conducted most
of my research as an independent researcher with no academic or industry
affiliation. However I have worked for two years as an Asst. professor
in a Harvard Medical International associated research institute in
India. My CV is available online at
http://gulfdoctor.net/resume.htm .
[Numbers in square bracket refers
to the concerned publication in the list here]
-
Clinical
Dermatology. [9, 13, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, ]
Clinical practice in two countries (India & United Arab Emirates) has
given me good exposure to all skin types. During my post graduation, I
have done research on patch test in footwear dermatitis and treatment
options for SLE.
-
Artificial
intelligence and its clinical applications [3, 7, 12, 29]
I have always been fascinated by artificial intelligence algorithms like
Bayesian belief networks and neural networks for which I have found
applications in dermatological conditions. I have also developed a
domain specific ontology called ONTODerm.
-
Genomics
and Systems Biology [1, 4, 6, 11, 25, 26]
I have extensively studied the genomic and systems biology aspects of
several dermatological conditions and I have published several
interesting findings.
-
Microarray
analysis[6]
-
Immunology
[28]
-
Mathematical modeling and computer programming.[20, 21, 22,
23, 24, 27]
These areas are also of great interest to me, although I have done only
limited research in it so far.
-
Molecular
Biology & Bioinformatics[2, 5, 8, 10, 14]
Ongoing work with Dr. Dedee Murrell (NSW, Australia) structural
consequences of keratin mutations in Epidermolysis Bullosa Simplex.
