Welcome to Roy's Lab 

Dr. Roy Karnati is an Associate Professor in the Department of Animal Biology at the University of Hyderabad (UoH). He has more than 15 years of research and industrial experience in life sciences. During his PhD at the University of Hyderabad, Dr. Roy was supported by a CSIR fellowship to understand cyclooxygenase-2 and reactive oxygen species-mediated regulation of MDR1 expression in HepG2 and RAW 264.7 cells. He then moved to the University of Virginia (USA) for postdoctoral research. Dr. Roy now runs a Translational & Tumor Biology Lab at UoH. The overarching goal of his research group is to understand the molecular mechanisms of infection and inflammation conditions in dry eye diseases and cancer, with a specific focus on metabolism, regulation, and the design and screening of inhibitors. His lab has experience handling various cell culture lines, animal model experiments, in-vitro enzyme activity assays, ChIP, protein expression and purification studies, stable cell line generation and metabolic profiling.
