Biography

Mohammad Kalim Ahmad Khan is a Professor of Bioengineering and Course Coordinator for M.Tech (Bioinformatics) and B.Tech (Biotechnology) at Integral University, Lucknow. An MSc alumnus of the same institution, he has cultivated more than sixteen years of expertise in computer-aided drug design, high-throughput virtual screening, ADMET profiling, and molecular-dynamics simulations. Dr. Khan has authored 82 peer-reviewed papers, two research monographs, and three book chapters, and is an invited reviewer for over thirty international journals. His laboratory focuses on structure-based inhibitor design for breast-cancer targets, emerging tuberculosis enzymes, and chemokine-mediated vitiligo pathways. In recognition of his scholarly contributions, he received the 2022 International Eminent Award in Engineering, Science, and Medicine. Within the university he leads NAAC quality-assurance initiatives, manages the Post-graduate Computational Biology Laboratory, and serves on the Board of Studies, Faculty Board, and Academic Council. Dr. Khan is a member of IAENG, IACSIT, and ISRD.
