Present Position:Assistant Professor

Highest Educational Qualification: Ph.D.

Past Appointments:

  • Leader, Functional Molecular Biology, Altria Group of Industries, USA (2008-2010)
  • Associate Research Scientist, Health Sciences Research, Phillip Morris USA (2006-2008)
  • Postdoctoral Research Associate, Dept. of Human Genetics, Virginia Commonwealth University , USA (2001-2006)

Awards & Honours:

  • National Scholarship Award, Govt. of India , 1992
  • National Scholarship Award, Govt. of India , 1989
  • National Scholarship Award, Govt. of India , 1987

Research Interest::

  • Genetic and epigenetic regulation of disease mechanisms caused by environmental factors (cigarette smoke, pollution, etc.) and to identify early molecular biomarkers of such diseases.
  • Deciphering genotype-environmental interactions in common diseases, such as cardiovascular disease and emphysema.

Current Projects:

  • Directing a research facility to discover new product functions at the molecular level and to develop new functional benefits of products.
  • Leading sensory research for performing biological assays for screening of irritants and cold-sensing product compounds.

Past Major Projects:

  • Understanding the basic mechanisms of β-like globin gene switching and to apply this knowledge to the treatment of β- thalassemia and sickle cell anemia.
  • Understanding genetic and epigenetic regulation of disease mechanisms caused by cigarette smoke and to identify early biomarkers of such diseases by molecular biological techniques. In particular, assessment of candidate genes as early biomarkers for COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disorder).
  • Microsatellite instability and single nucleotide polymorphisms causal to or associated with neuro-degenerative disorders, such as Huntington's disease, Myotonic dystrophy and the Spinocerebellar ataxias
