AMMAS Research Group @ AMRITA University is a major research group, nurtured, guided and headed by Dr. P. K. Krishnan Namboori, focusing on research activities related to theory and computer simulation of chemical and molecular processes followed by synthesis and evaluation. The computational techniques range from ‘ab initio' electronic structure methods through classical molecular simulation to mesoscale simulation. Our research activities spread mainly in the areas of pharmaceutical engineering, drug design and delivery systems, soft drugs, biosynthesis, material science and genetic engineering. Our focus is on explaining practical phenomena in chemistry, biophysics, biomedical engineering, drug designing, biometrics, nanotechnology and material science through fundamental principles of quantum chemistry, molecular mechanics, thermodynamics and statistical mechanics and genome level evaluation of the findings. The research activities of the group are disposed in the following divisions. Pharmacogenomics (PG) Computational Nanotechnology(CNT) Drug design and development(DDD) Drug Delivery Systems (DDS) Computational material science(CMS) Pharmaceutical Engineering (PE) Pharmacoinformatics (PI) Molecular systems biology (MSB) Smart Materials and Systems (SMS)
