Current Interests: Integrative Bioinformatics and molecular biology, data analytics. 


Welcome to SR lab. We recognize that Everyone in this World is special. We generally follow the paradigm that ‘a young student’s question is to be connected through data analytics for creation of new knowledge’. It almost does not matter where you begin, but it matters where you end ! This means that the actual journey of learning and doing, investigation of science is more important than anything else. Associated with each individual are 2 attributes, namely, adaptability and evolvability. We encourage the buildup of both attributes during your stay here. The phrase that it matters where you end means that, after you finish your Ph.D. you should land in a nice position either for research or for job profession.

Enjoy your stay and make your career. Data analytics is future.

M.Phil. dissertation :" Application of Nucleic Acid Hybridization to the diagnosis of Tuberculosis"

Ph.D. Thesis: " Organization   and structure of ribosomal ribonucleic acid genes in Entamoebae histolytica. "

Post-Doctoral Fellowship: I spent a few years at The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, Bethesda, Maryland, USA. I joined a laboratory to work on a intestinal nematode parasite of humans called Strongyloides stercoralis.

The Genomics Programme: After my brief post-doctoral period I returned to India to join the then Centre for Biochemical Technology now re-christened Institute of Genomics and Integrative Biology to join the genomics programme. It was a new and exciting venture.
