Indira has vast experience of working in Industry and academia in the field of Biophysics, Computational Biology & Chemoinformatics leading to aid of drug designing in infectious diseases. She has worked in AstraZeneca for 13 years ( 1990-2013) in lead designing in projects associated with unmet diseases like Tuberculosis and Malaria. Since last ten years her experience has been enriched in academia as Director of Bioinformatics, University of Pune and Professor /Dean, School of Computational & Integrative Sciences , JNU Delhi.
She has been actively training human resources in the fields of Bio and Chemoinformatics and provided 7 Phd and 35 MSc/Mtech project trainees in the field of Computational Biology & Bioinformatics. She has a Master degree in Physics from Calcutta University and PhD from Indian Institute of Science , Bangalore with a long post doctoral experience in Andy McCammon’s lab where she worked as Fulbright scholar during 1983-86.She has been associated with the Royal Institute of Technology and Karolinska Institute, Stockholm, Sweden during 1987-93. She has been one of the pioneers in propagating education in Computational biology and Chemoinformatics in Indian Universities and is the member of task force in ICMR (medical informatics) & DeiTY ( Computational Biology group) which encourage medical professionals and computer science graduates to work in the interdisciplinary research area like Systems Biology & Synthetic Biology.
She has organized many workshops and conferences, and is presently Steering Committee member of International Translational Bioinformatics Conference (http://www.aporc.org/ISB/2014/).She has been a faculty member of Research Training on Intracellular Pathogen workshop under U.S.-India Joint Research Training Program (2011-2014: http://www.seattle-india-gid.org/) and has been a member of OpenTox project funded by European commission. 2008 -2011 (www.opentox.com). She has been a member of QSAR & Chemoinformatics Society since 2004.
