Arun K. Shukla

Arun K. Shukla serves as Professor in the Department of Biological Sciences & Bioengineering at Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur. He earned his PhD from Max Planck Institute of Biophysics, Frankfurt, Germany, with thesis work on 'Heterologous expression, biochemical characterization and purification of selected G Protein-Coupled Receptors' under Prof. Hartmut Michel.

His research program focuses on structural and functional elucidation of GPCR signaling pathways and novel drug discovery. Dr. Shukla's expertise spans membrane receptor biology, cell signaling mechanisms, and synthetic biology approaches. His work bridges structural biology principles with pharmaceutical applications through combinatorial biology techniques.

As an educator, he teaches structural biology, molecular biology, biochemistry, and cellular biology courses. His laboratory likely contributes to IIT Kanpur's research infrastructure in biological sciences and bioengineering, though specific facility details aren't provided in the source material.
