We work closely with a number of scientists in IGIB and outside.  Some of these interactions are formalized through collaborative project whereas others are free wheeling networks of people with similar interests.



  
Ruth Luthi-Carter, Ph.D.
Assistant Professor, EPFL, Lausanne

Ruth's Lab at EPFL, Lausanne is engaged in molecular study of polyglutamine diseases (such as Huntington's disease), and the normal function and dysfunction of the basal ganglia (particularly the striatum).
We are working together to understand common gene expression changes and mechanisms in Spinecerebellar Ataxia 17 and Huntington's disease.

Souvik Maiti, Ph.D.
Scientist, IGIB

Souvik is a biophysicist with diverse interests ranging from secondary structure of DNA, small RNA interaction, modified nucleic acids and application of nanoparticles in biology.
We are working together to understand biological effects of nanoparticles using gene expression profiling.

Vinod Scaria, MBBS.
Scientist, IGIB

Vinod is a medico pursuing his Ph.D at IGIB.  He is involved in the computational aspects of the small RNA project, besides being a sounding board for many half-baked ideas.

Mugdha Gadgil.
Scientist, NCL

Mugdha's research interests are in protein expression and engineering, but she finds time to help us with microarray data analysis.




Chetan Gadgil.
Scientist, NCL

We are fiddling around with transcriptional rates, TBP-DNA binding and so on in the hope of getting a methematical insight into regulation of gene expression.




Sridhar Sivasubbu
Scientist, IGIB

Next door neighbour who introduced us to Zebrafish.  We work together on several aspects of small RNA biology





Vani Brahmachari
Professor, Delhi University

Small RNA biology, specially in the context of development is an overlapping area of interest. She is also a valuable critic of our work.
