Research Projects

One of the most significant realizations in the field of genome biology for the last decade has been that the human genome is pervasively transcribed and codes for a large number of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs). They play critical roles in regulating gene expression in almost all cellular processes by interacting with RNA-binding proteins(RBPs) or other coding and non-coding RNAs.

My lab is interested in understanding the role of lncRNAs, miRNAs and circRNAs as potential therapeutic targets in Cancer (Brain and Oral Cancer) and host-pathogen (virus)  interaction. Our work utilizes cutting-edge technologies from the fields of genomics, molecular biology, biochemistry, and computational biology.

These studies will provide insights into fundamental biological mechanisms and lay the foundation for novel diagnostics and treatments for human diseases.

Funding as PI
1.  ICMR 2023.  Elucidating the role of Transforming Growth Factor-β (TGF-β) regulated long-non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in Epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) and as therapeutic targets for Oral Cancer.
