Research Focus
The research lab led by Dr. Paramjit S Arora at New York University focuses on understanding how proteins interact with other biomolecules and developing innovative synthetic proteins that can mimic these interactions. The lab aims to create new therapeutic strategies to target dysfunctional protein and RNA interactions that are linked to various diseases. This work has the potential to contribute significantly to the field of medicinal chemistry by offering new tools for drug development.
