RESEARCH LABORATORY 

·         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.
