· BIOCHEMICAL AND MOLECULAR STUDIES
Basic research techniques in biochemistry and molecular biology are used to explore various aspects of diseases in CNS. Following neurodegenerative diseases are the main focus of our research:-
ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE
CNS ISCHEMIA
EPILEPSY
SCHIZOPHRENIA
SPINOCEREBELLAR ATAXIA
WILSON DISEASE
MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS
PARKINSON’S DISEASE
BIPOLAR DISORDER
AMYOTRPIC LATERAL SCLEROSIS (ALS)
· DRUG/ PHARMACOGENETIC STUDIES
We explore the genetic involvement of neurodegenerative diseases and the metabolic effects of therapeutic drugs. Genetic polymorphisms of disease related genes and drug metabolizing enzymes in Indian population are of the main focus of our study
· CELL CULTURE STUDIES
We are working on Human cortical Neurons and HepG2 cell lines.
