Computational Systems Biological Analysis of Medicinal Plants Data Aimed at Drug Discovery

I am a PhD student with CSIR-Institute of Himalayan Bioresource Technology. I have been trained in biotechnology and bioinformatics with an MTech in Bioinformatics from Department of Biotechnology, GNDU. I worked on PhD thesis titled, "Computational Systems Biological Analysis of Medicinal Plants Data Aimed at Drug Discovery" (Thesis submitted in September 2016).
