1. International Collaborative Project : Indo South Africa INT/SAFR/P(2/2011) -03/10-2011)Design Synthesis and Evaluation of 1,2 –dihydroisoquinolines as HIV Integrase Inhibitors. Tenure of Project ; 2011-13 . Funded By Department of Science & Technology ,India. & South Africa jointly. PIs are from :University of Delhi and Johannesburg Medical School.

2. Project Title : International collaborative Project : Indo German Project ; Validation and Testing of DNA binding ligands as Radiomodulator in Human Cells. PIs from University of Delhi & Essen Medical School,University of Duisburg, Essen Germany.

3. International Collaboration with Prof. Yuk-Ching Tse Dinh, Department of Biochemistry & Chemistry, Florida International University, Miami Research Project ; We are alongwith her laboratory working on the basic logic that each pathogen has at least one type IA topoisomerase providing a target for discovery of new antibiotics to combat multi –drug resistant infections, including MDR and XDR-TB. The study of the structure and mechanism of bacterial topoisomerase I provide the basic foundation for translational application of this enzyme as a novel antibacterial target. Drug Discovery research extends to anticancer drugs targeting human DNA topoisoemrases. 

4. International Collaboration with Prof. Ritu Aneja , Georgia State University, Atlanta, USA. Her laboratory is devoted to address the urgent need for chemopreventive approaches and kinder and gentler chemotherapeutic modalities to fight with Cancer. Fortunately, decades of exhaustive research have yielded a battery of chemotherapeutic agents, the most notable of which include tubulin-binding drugs. We are currently collaborating with her laboratory to explore phytochemicals and Noscapinoids a gentler tubulin binding drugs and investigating these molecules using biochemical, molecular, and cellular biological techniques with in vivo, in vitro, and in silico systems.
