I am Satyendra Singh, about to complete my Ph.D. in Biochemistry from the Central University of Rajasthan (CURAJ), India. My thesis is on the topic “Discovery of antileishmanial compounds from actinomycetes secondary metabolites using a targeted drug discovery approach” and I have submitted my Ph.D. thesis in December 2025.
In the last five years of my research work, I have been involved in the discovery and validation of bioactive compounds against Leishmania donovani. Through this journey, I have gained a detailed understanding of the target-based drug discovery approach. My Ph.D. work has been primarily focused on identifying novel antileishmanial compounds from actinomycetes secondary metabolites using an integrated pipeline of in silico, in vitro, biochemical methods, and protein-based studies.
During my Ph.D. research, I have gone through extensive literature and developed a strong conceptual and hands-on experience on parasite and mammalian (macrophage) cell culture, in vitro drug susceptibility assays, macrophage infection assays, enzyme inhibition kinetics, protein expression and purification, and spectroscopic and biophysical assays such as biolayer interferometry. These experiences have provided me with a strong experimental background and a comprehensive understanding of how computational predictions translate into biological outcomes.
