Experience :
22 years. Rathore serves as a Professor in the Department of Bioinformatics since 2016. He obtained PhD (1991-99) in Biophysics at the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore on de novo peptide design. He worked as a Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Texas (Medical Branch), Galveston, USA on mini-protein design and Protein Crystallography of Catabolite Gene Activator (CAP/CRP) Protein. He served as the first Dean of the Schools of Earth, Biological and Environmental Sciences during 2016-19 and Head of the Department of Bioinformatics during 2018-21.
Earlier, he worked in Schrödinger Inc.(USA), University of Hyderabad, TIFR and other places. He is an adviser to IBCB Vizag, and also few pharmaceutical companies. Rathore has extensively lectured and provided hands-on training in computational modeling and molecular drug discovery area at India and abroad. His main interests are Natural-product based drug discovery, design of inhibitors for Acetylcholinestaerse (AChE) for Alzheimer disorder and SARS-CoV-2 MPRO, QM/MM-based Free Energy Perturbation for lead optimizations & computational de novo design of peptides.
