Zeroing In with Dr. Sreejalekshmi K.G. | On Combinatorial Chemistry and Drug Discovery

Chemical Sciences is a primeval forest full of the most intriguing phenomena that gets one thinking hard and deep about what they observed. From our kitchen shelves to prodigious laboratories, from our own bodies to the interstellar medium, chemistry takes parts in all frames. (Organic Chemistry helps us resolve Alkynes of problems we have been Diene to figure out.)

We discussed the captivating aspects of the discipline with Dr. Sreejalekshmi K.G., currently an associate professor in the Department of Chemistry, who leads the group on organic molecules and functional materials at the Indian Institute of Space Science and Technology. Touching over multi-disciplinary fields of her work including combinatorial chemistry, synthetic organic chemistry, and drug discovery, with a strong relation to the biological sciences, she also gave a beautifully vivid perspective of her current research work and collaborations, and what it takes to thrive for our deepest passions.

Dive in to hear an elaborate conversation about the details that go into building a career with such multidimensional interests.
