We are primarily interested in understanding the molecular basis of susceptibility to complex diseases. Towards this goal, we develop and use cell-based models by using transgenic techniques or by treatment with disease-inducing agents. We are presently focusing on neurological disorders and oral cancer. Using our experience in genetic analysis, we also strive to develop reliable and better diagnostic tools for infectious and genetic diseases. A brief description of the currently active research areas.
Schizophrenia (SZ):
SZ is a complex disorder with an incidence of ~1% in different populations in the world. Although exact etiology is not established, genetic, epigenetic, chemical imbalance, brain structural abnormalities and environmental factors are implicated. The genetic susceptibility of SZ is six-times more than its general incidence. We are investigating the association of copy number variants (CNVs) and SNPs with SZ in Indian patients using Illumina PsychArrays and extensive bioinformatics using machine learning and artificial intelligence to identify patterns with higher predictive/diagnostic value.
Human Genetics
Genome-wide studies in patients and controls have suggested a number of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and copy number variants (CNVs) among Caucasian studies. Till date, there is only one genome-wide study from India studying the SNPs and none on the CNVs. We developed i-MLPA, an improved method of CNV detection and showed that CNVs of 15q11.2 (BP1-BP2) region are not associated with schizophrenia among Indian patients. This CNV is a variant of uncertain significance and its association with an abnormality is not clear. We also conducted the largest CNV study involving this CNV in collaboration with Baylor College of Medicine and University of Pittsburgh Medical Center and showed that deletions are associated with dysmorphic features. Currently, we are studying CNVs of 15 regions that stand a higher probability of confirming in replication studies among Indian patients.
15q11.2 region
Infinium PsychArray Analysis of SNPs identified for neurological disorders
We have been screening 50,000 SNPs associated with neurological disorders, tag SNPs and exon SNPs in schizophrenia patients and controls using Infinium PsychArrays with an aim to replicate the disease-associated variants with schizophrenia patients in India. Initial data suggests that the variants reported in Caucasian patients are not likely to be confirmed in the Indian patients. In a pilot study, we have identified ~320 variants with a high promise of replication in a larger size sample. Data is being generated to confirm many novel variants that were identified in patients.
Stem cell Models
(A) DNMT1 overexpression, schizophrenia and other neurological disorders.
High discordance rates between monozygotic twins indicate epigenetic mechanisms in SZ. Of the main modifications of the epigenome, we currently focus on DNA methylation aberrations and dysregulation of DNA methylation machinery, particularly DNA methyltransferase 1 (DNMT1). Overexpression of DNMT1 is associated with SZ, bipolar and epilepsy disorders but the molecular basis of DNMT1 overexpression and its relationship with abnormal neurodevelopment is unknown. Since DNMT1 overexpression results in mid-gestational lethality, we have developed genetically modified mouse embryonic stem cells that overexpress different levels of DNMT1 (400% and 200%) and investigating their neurodevelopmental abnormalities using genome-wide methylation and transcriptome analysis. The obtained results are being explored further to delineate the mechanisms underlying SZ and other neurodevelopmental disorders such as epilepsy, autism, bipolar disorders and neurodegenerative disorders like multiple sclerosis, Huntington’s, etc.

I consider available opportunities for collaboration with individual(s), group(s), Institution(s), organization(s), or Industry(ies) to be attractive enough if these provide for launching new future relevant ventures for training, up-skilling, re-skilling, or acquiring new skills for effective self-learning, education, tapping individual research potential or joint research potential for the betterment of our Institute.
Find me in office Chamber D-218, Department of EEE, BITS, Pialni K. K. Birla Goa Campus, with prior appointment.
I have recently completed twenty four years of service at BITS, Pilani. I joined BITS, Pilani, Pilani (Rajasthan) on 16th August, 2000, with field experience of nine years in research, consultancy, development and also teaching at post-graduate level at Centre of Energy Studies and Research, (CESR) Indore. As a Coordinator appointed for the newly established Centre for Renewable Energy and Environment Development (CREED), I was responsible for maintaining and further development of educational and research activities at the CREED. The prior experience helped me develop funded programs at Pilani Rajasthan and start Ph.D. research program in the areas related to renewable energy.
In May, 2004, I was transferred to BITS, Pilani Goa-Campus, in very early stages of its development then. I was entrusted the responsibility of Faculty In-charge (Administration) of the Campus. In the capacity of Faculty In-charge (Admin) I did contribute to development of the Institute on all fronts, including setting requisite offices and recruitment of essential staff and faculty, mentoring newly recruited faculty and staff members, development of instructional laboratories to be managed by different Groups (now Departments), and coordinating all essential services to complete satisfaction of the stake-holders. As a senior member of the faculty of the Institute, I did coordinate setting up research facilities, particularly in the area of solar energy systems, wind energy systems and developing network with related departments of Government and Institutions in the state of Goa. The first sponsored project sponsored by the MNRE through GEDA, was completed during Aug, 2009 to August, 2012. The outcome of the project completed helped continue developing new research programs and facilities on the Campus.
As a senior faculty member of the EEE Group, I could coordinate setting up of instructional Labs for the students of the FD program offered by the Group. For certain courses, where faculty members were not available, I did develop capability to teach courses that were new to me. New activities, such orientation of new recruits, intensive teaching workshop, training of technical staff were conducted where limited human resource was required to participate in capacity building for the Institute.
I served as Faculty In-charge (Administration) from 02 June, 2004 till 15th, April, 2011. Thereafter, I served as Faculty In-charge (Faculty Affairs) until January, 2015. Also, I served as the Head of the Department, Dept of EEE, from 21st November, 2013 till 21st November, 2017.
I continue to contribute to the Institutional Development, to the best of my capabilities and whenever I am entrusted with new responsibility I tend to rise to the occasion and deliver!
