Deepika Dhillon is currently pursuing an M.Tech in Bioinformatics at Netaji Subhas University of Technology (NSUT), New Delhi, following a B.Tech in Biotechnology from Sharda University. Her academic background combines molecular biology with computational sciences, reflecting a transition from experimental biotechnology to data-driven biomedical research.
Her research focuses on the application of computational approaches to investigate complex biological systems and therapeutic interventions. Her work lies at the intersection of structural bioinformatics, systems biology, network pharmacology, and computer-aided drug discovery, with particular interests in protein structure analysis, molecular interactions, therapeutic target identification, and mechanism-driven drug discovery. She employs molecular modeling, molecular docking, pharmacophore modeling, molecular dynamics simulations, and network-based analytical approaches to study disease-associated molecular pathways and evaluate potential therapeutic candidates.
Her research has contributed to peer-reviewed publications spanning computational biology, cancer therapeutics, natural product-based drug discovery, and related interdisciplinary areas. Through these studies, she has explored computational strategies for target prioritization, biomolecular interaction analysis, and the identification of bioactive compounds with therapeutic potential.
Her broader research interests include integrating structural biology, systems-level analyses, and emerging computational methodologies to advance precision medicine and translational drug discovery. She is particularly interested in developing reproducible computational workflows that support biological interpretation and facilitate the discovery of novel therapeutic strategies.
