D. in medicinal chemistry from the Central Drug Research Institute (CDRI), Lucknow. He joined Kansas State University in 1993 and has taught NMR and structure-biology related courses for over 20 years. Research in his laboratory has been focusing on the structure, function and molecular recognition using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and NMR structure-based drug designing.Prof S. S. Bari, Ex-Registrar, Punjab University, Chandigarh and Dr Sunil Bansal, Assistant Professor, Lovely Professional University, Jalandhar also attended the lecture besides other dignitaries, faculty and students from the Institute.
