Scholar-generated biography
Prakash Arumugam is a researcher specializing in chemical genomics and metabolic engineering. His work explores the molecular mechanisms of cohesin function, including its role in DNA cohesion, ATP hydrolysis, and chromosome morphology during meiosis. He investigates how cohesin interacts with other proteins, such as the MIND complex and PP2A Cdc55, to regulate meiotic divisions. His research also includes the development of tools for screening small-molecule inhibitors of protein–protein interactions and the discovery of natural products through genomics-driven approaches. Arumugam's studies contribute to understanding the genetic and metabolic pathways involved in antifungal resistance and the production of bioactive compounds.
