About Prem Prakash

Patients diagnosed with cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) may need medical attention for the rest of their life. However, if such life-threatening diseases get diagnosed at a premature stage then their progression can be slowed down or even prevented at the early stages of development. The strategy to curb such life-threatening diseases at their primitive phase will help patients live normal or disease-free lives and significantly reduce the treatment cost. My research goal is to dissect the role of damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) in CVDs. Similar to pathogen-associated molecular patterns DAMPs bind to Toll-like receptors and thus amplify the inflammatory response. We utilize advanced in-silico protein-protein and protein-drug interaction studies, genomic data mining for gene co-expression network analysis, various small animal disease models and patient samples to unravel the mechanistic role of DAMPs in CVD.
