Research Interest's:-
Dr. Sikander has 90 publications in internationally well known journals with an impact factor of 260 on his credit. He has accomplished his Ph.D from the University of Innsbruck, Austria, in the field of Theoretical and Computational Chemistry. Current research interests lied in the field of Computational Biochemistry. In particular, Molecular Docking and Molecular Dynamic (MD) Simulations of proteins for understanding structural and dynamical aspects of the biological system. The application of Molecular Mechanic ( MM) , and Hybrid Quantum Mechanical / Molecular Mechanical (QM/MM) Molecular Dynamic (MD), and Quantum Mechanical Charge Field (QMCF) Molecular Dynamic Simulations for the evaluation of structural and dynamical properties of biologically and industrially important ions in aqueous solution are another dimensions of his interests. He is currently establishing a computational facility lab at the National Centre for Bioinformatics which helps to maintain the synergistic relationship with the experimental research work carried out on various proteins at the resource lab of the institute.
