Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

S. Unnikrishnan's research interests span multiple disciplines, including oncology, neuroscience, and agricultural science. In the realm of oncology, Unnikrishnan has investigated the design and optimization strategies of PROTACs (proteolysis-targeting chimeras) and their application in targeted protein degradation for various cancer therapies. This work contributes to the development of novel therapeutic approaches for oncological conditions.

Further research extends to neuroscience, where Unnikrishnan has explored the detection of MUNC18-1 related presynaptic dysfunction and its potential rescue in human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived neurons. This line of inquiry aims to understand the molecular mechanisms underlying neurological disorders.

In agricultural science, Unnikrishnan's recent work includes studying the effects of biochar on insect herbivores and the impact of atmospheric cold plasma seed treatments on plant growth and herbivore resistance in crops like soybean and sorghum-sudangrass. These investigations focus on sustainable agricultural practices and pest management.
