During his Ph.D., he designed molecules and evaluated their applications through response modification that regulates stem cells proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. His main research interest is in the field of drug designing against Cancer Stem Cells (CSCs). He has completed the Department of Science and Technology (DST), Government of India’s project as leading Principal Investigator (PI) in Department of Computational Biology, IIIT Delhi, India during his Post-Doc (2017-2019), awarded by DST, SERB. During this tenure, his research work included developing tools and databases using machine learning, deep learning algorithms, and new scoring function parameterizations for use in docking, simulations, and complex network analysis. Also, Dr. Pawan Kumar Raghav has worked as Scientist ‘D’ in Stem Cell Facility, AIIMS, New Delhi-110029, India. As a scientist, he carried out stem cell informatics, current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP), and tissue engineering experimental studies. Currently, he is working as a research scientist in Immunogenetics and Transplantation Lab, Department of Surgery, University of California San Francisco (UCSF), San Francisco, California. In UCSF, he is developing novel approaches for investigating immune/inflammatory mechanisms of allograft injury and discovering new biomarkers and therapeutics in solid organ and bone marrow transplantation. He is the recipient of several awards and honors, including the ICMR Travel Award to deliver an oral talk in 11th world congress & expo on cell & stem cell research ORLANDO, the USA in 2019, Research Excellence Award from Institute of Scholars (InSc), and best Research Award in 2020 from Science Father. He has published more than 40 publications, including international research articles, book chapters, books, and Indian intellectual property rights for 03 patents. His research activities and broad experience shows his significant contribution to stem cells engineering, nanotechnology, and computational biology.
