PROTAC-Mediated Protein Degradation: A Paradigm Shift in Cancer Therapeutics

Dr. Mukesh Nandave is currently serving as the Associate Dean (Research & Consultancy) and Associate Professor, as well as the Head of the Department of Pharmacology and Pharmaceutical Biotechnology at Delhi Pharmaceutical Sciences and Research University, under the Government of NCT of Delhi, India. Dr. Nandave completed his Ph.D. in Pharmacology from AIIMS in Delhi and pursued his post-doctoral training at the Ohio State University Medical Center in Columbus, USA. Dr. Nandave has primarily focused his research on investigating the role of nutraceuticals, herbomineral formulations, and phytoconstituents in areas such as myocardial ischemia & reperfusion injury, diabetes, obesity, cancer, and pain management. He has published over 120 papers in national and international peer-reviewed journals, and received several prestigious awards, including the distinguished leadership award of the International Academy of Cardiovascular Sciences, and holds various professional memberships.   Dr. Priti Jain is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry, Delhi Pharmaceutical Sciences and Research University, New Delhi. She has more than 15 years of experience in industrial and academic research. Her area of research is mainly focused on in silico design and the discovery of low molecular weight heterocycles as anti-Alzheimer’s agents, anti-cancer agents, and anti-HIV agents. Dr Jain is involved in research on analytical method development and validation of API and dosage forms. She has published more than 40 research articles in peer-reviewed international journals and authored or co-authored numerous books and book chapters. Jain serves as an editor for various journals and a reviewer of many reputed journals. She is also a Bentham Brand Ambassador since 2018 and has been conferred with various awards. She is a member of many international scientific societies and organizations.
