Welcome to Mallika's Home Page!




Greetings! I am working as a postdoctoral research associate in Bioinformatics and Systems Biology Research group lead by Prof. Adam Godzik at Burnham Institute for Medical Research. I am a member of JCMM (Joint Center for Molecular Modeling). JCMM is a joint center between the Burnham Institute for Medical Research and the CSE (Computer Science and Engineering) at the UCSD University of California, SanDiego.

I have received my PhD from the Bioinformatics Research Centre Department of Computing Science at University of Glasgow Scotland lead by Prof.David Gilbert. My PhD thesis entitled as , "A Novel Method for Comparing Topological Models of Protein Structures Enhanced with ligand Interaction Information". TOPS+ server is available in here.

My short term project as a postdoctoral researcher from Division of Gene Regulation and Expression lead by Professor Angus Lamond Wellcome Trust Biocentre, University of Dundee was on "Development of a Splicing Factor Database". I have also worked in Dr.R.Sowdhamini's lab, at NCBS Bangalore, India. There I have developed the PASS2: a Semi-Automated database of Protein Alignments organised as Structural Superfamilies.

Recently we have developed a Method - "TOPS++FATCAT: fast flexible structural alignment using constraints derived from TOPS+ Strings Model".
