Associate Professor, Department of Biological Sciences, BITS Pilani, Pilani Campus
Dr. Majumder’s research interests broadly relate to cardiovascular, diabetes, epigenetics, endothelial cell biology, podocyte biology and kidney diseases. Presently, he is interested in identifying key epigenetic changes that occur during development and progression of diseases specially looking at vascular complications associated with endothelial dysfunction. The main theme is to identify and target those epigenetic processes that are involved in endothelial dysfunctions in several diseases like diabetes induced cardiovascular and kidney diseases as well as pathological angiogenesis during tumor growth.
Opportunities are currently available for highly motivated Ph.D and Post-doctoral Fellows to work on experimental research in the field of endothelial cell biology, epigenetics, cardiovascular diseases, kidney diseases and vascular biology.
Interested candidates are requested to send their CV at syamantak.majumder@pilani.bits-pilani.ac.in
