Ranabir Majumder

Dr. Ranabir Majumder is a distinguished Structural Bioinformatician and research scholar who earned his Ph.D. from the prestigious Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur under the supervision of Prof. Mahitosh Mandal.  He is currently a Post-doctoral Fellow in the Structural Biology and Genomics Lab (Prof. David W. Ussery), Dept. of Physiological Sciences at Oklahoma State University. Specializing in Cancer Biology & Drug Discovery, Dr. Majumder focuses on the intersection of Pharmacy and Biomedical Engineering, with a particular emphasis on uncovering the anticancer and chemoresistance properties in cancer treatment. His multidisciplinary approach integrates advanced computational techniques with experimental methodologies to advance the understanding and development of novel therapeutic agents.

Dr. Majumder’s research is dedicated to elucidating the anticancer potential of phytochemicals, with a primary focus on breast cancer. His work employs a comprehensive blend of in-silico, in-vitro, and in-vivo techniques to investigate the mechanisms of action of potential anticancer agents. His expertise includes:

• In-Silico Methodologies: Molecular Docking, Molecular Dynamics Simulation, Quasi-Anharmonic Analysis, QM/MM Simulation, and Binding Energy Calculation to model and predict molecular interactions.
• In-Vitro Techniques: Cell culture, MTT assays, Western Blot, and fluorescence microscopy to validate computational findings and assess cellular responses.
• In-Vivo Studies: Translating laboratory discoveries into potential real-world applications through rigorous animal model studies.

Dr. Majumder’s research bridges computational and experimental domains, aiming to develop innovative strategies for cancer prevention and treatment. His work is grounded in a commitment to advancing biomedical engineering, cancer research, pharmacy, and bioinformatics, with the ultimate goal of improving therapeutic outcomes for breast cancer patients.
