Dr. C. Gopi Mohan is an Associate Professor at the Center for Nanosciences and Molecular Medicine, specializing in the areas of structural bioinformatics, structure-based drug design, protein crystallography, and nanoinformatics. He graduated from Banaras Hindu University with a PhD in Physics and gained experience as a postdoctoral researcher at the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore (India), as a research officer at the University of Bath (UK) and as an associate researcher at the University Henri Poincare, Nancy (France). Further, he worked as a member of the faculty at the National Institute of Pharmaceutical Education & Research (NIPER), Mohali, Punjab. Dr. Gopi Mohan has published more than 70 research papers in refereed journals and was cited as an internationally recognized expert in the field of Structural Bioinformatics and Chemoinformatics by Synergix Ltd. (UK) founded by Dr. N.C. Cohen, a pioneer of rational drug design. Recently he was awarded the ICMR Senior Biomedical Scientist International Fellowship to visit US laboratories for research collaborations.
