Present Teaching Engagements

Since last few years I am enjoying teaching these courses using various teaching pedagogy at undergraduate/postgraduate level.

Data Structures and Algorithms
Theory of Computation
Computer Networks
Foundations of Data Science
Computer Programming
Internetworking Techonologies

Unlike traditional classroom teaching pedagogy, recently this subject was offered using MOOC, which involves flipped classroom teaching pedagogy. It is a form of blended learning in which students learn new content, online, by watching video lectures. And what used to be homework (assigned problems) is now done in class with instructor offering more personalized guidance and interaction with students, instead of lecturing.

The subject was offered using COURSERA platform and then Edx platform. We used the tools and technology of coursera (later EdX) for offering Computer Programming course via flipped classroom teaching pedagogy.

Research Interest

My research interest includes the development of the numerical methods for the singularly perturbed boundary value problems arising in many applications of science and engineering. Singularly perturbed boundary value problems are those in which the highest order derivative is multiplied by a small parameter ε, known as the perturbation parameter. As ε → 0, the order of the differential equation reduces by at least one and so the solution to the reduced problem fails to satisfy all the boundary conditions. Thus as ε → 0, the solution to these problems has multiple behaviors in the sense that there are the regions where solution changes very rapidly (these regions are called layer regions) otherwise the solution varies slowly (these regions are called outer regions). The classical/standard numerical methods fail to approximate the solution to these problems, so we need to develop non-classical/nonstandard methods for the solution of these problems.

In particular, my research includes the development of the numerical methods for Initial/Boundary Value Problems for Ordinary Differential Equations, Partial Differential Equations, Delay/Advanced Differential Equations, Singularly Perturbed ODEs/PDEs, Fractional Order ODEs/PDEs etc.

Research Interest

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), across the world the total number of people with diabetes is projected to rise from 171 million in 2000 to 366 million in 2030. The maximum absolute increase in the number of people with diabetes will be in India. In 2000, the number of diabetic patients was the 31 million and is predicted to be increased to 79 million till 2030. Diabetes is characterized by chronic high glucose levels and in the long run development of different pathological alterations in the retina, renal glomerulus, heart, blood vessels and peripheral nerve. Diabetes specific microvascular disease is a leading cause of blindness (retinopathy), renal failure (nephropathy) and nerve damage (neuropathy), and diabetes-accelerated atherosclerosis (vasculopathy) leads to increased risk of myocardial infarction, stroke and finally to heart failure. Out of these abnormalities, diabetic nephropathy is became the world leading cause of chronic and end-stage renal disease. Hence, my area research of interest is to find out the molecular mechanisms involved in the development of different diabetic complications.

Rapid progress within the last few years has brought a wealth of information regarding diverse roles for the covalent modifications of histones during development and differentiation. Histone modifications have been implicated in the regulation of genomic stability, gene expression, heterochromatin formation and developmental pathways. There are a daunting and growing number of histone modifications. The main emphasis has been on identifying modifications and their locations within the genome. However, very little is known about the interplay between the complex machinery that catalyzes the addition or removal of these modifications and how they are involved in orchestrating development. Therefore, we mainly focusing on the development of targeted therapeutics for diabetes and its complications associated with the misregulation of chromatin modifications.

Research

About Research: Our research interest focuses on design and synthesis of natural and synthetic bioactive nitrogen heterocycles as potent and selective anticancer agents. Recent research efforts aiming towards the use of organoiodines enabled us to discover several efficient protocols leading to easy access of drug-like bioactive heterocycles and natural products. Taking cue from indole-based natural products and synthetic drugs, identified various indolylazoles endowed with anticancer activities ranging from micro to nanomolar IC50 values. Efforts to develop potential photosensitizers resulted in the identification porphyrin macrocycle and boron dipyrromethenes with interesting absorption and emission properties. More recently efforts towards conjugate chemistry provided water soluble cationic porphyrins with remarkable (IC50 in nanomolar range) photocytotoxicity.

Research Interest

Understanding Tumor Drug Tolerance and Resistance

Our research team is involved in understanding the diverse molecular mechanisms or adaptations of tumor cells contributing to drug tolerance and resistance. In this regard, the following aspects are investigated:

Characterizing signaling and epigenetic adaptations of tumor cells upon drug stress: A toxic drug pressure often results in survival of a very small population of transitorily non-dividing tumor cells that eventually attain proliferative potential to re-populate the tumor. Our research is devoted towards understanding the signalling and epigenetic signatures of these 'tolerant cells' that serve as a pool of resilient cells re-establishing tumor population. We also compare the molecular responses after exposure to a toxic or a sub-toxic chemotherapeutic pressure. In this context, we have taken a next generation sequencing based approach followed up by extensive in silico analysis, and wet lab validations towards identification of druggable targets. Herein, we have observed dynamic alteration in developmentally relevant signaling pathways and modification of histone marks upon drug stress. Their functional implications are investigated. Overall, the understanding of the adaptive strategies of tumor cells upon drug pressure is directed towards identification of probable therapeutic targets preventing drug tolerance, resistance and hence associated recurrence of cancer.
Understanding the role of autophagy during drug stress: The cellular homeostatic process, autophagy has often been implicated in hindering drug sensitivity. However, the precise mechanism- of regulation of autophagy and the latter itself controlling cellular survival under drug pressure is poorly understood. Herein, we monitor autophagy after differential drug pressure in tumor cells. Thereafter, coupled with in silico analysis we identify signaling molecules/proteins regulating or having a crosstalk with autophagy. We further explore how modulating the identified molecules/autophagy can enhance chemotherapeutic sensitivity. In this context, we are further interested to explore the role of selective autophagy-mitophagy upon drug stress.
Exploring the role of master transcription regulator- YAP and LIM protein-Ajuba in drug resistance: Alteration in expression of developmentally active signaling pathways is a hallmark of cancer and associated drug resistance. In this regard, the dys-regulation of Hippo signaling pathway is often associated with cancer. Currently we are exploring the role of Hippo signaling pathway components, like YAP under drug stress and its crosstalk with cellular adaptive strategies. The differential localization of YAP and target genes under its control upon drug pressure is investigated.
Analyzing role of high glucose in tumor drug resistance: Hyperglycemic conditions are often positively correlated with progression of cancer, say pancreatic cancer. Especially, hyperglycemia is known to be associated with drug resistance as well. However, the precise mechanism of how hyperglycemia has an impact on drug resistance is poorly characterized. In this project, we explore alteration in expression of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) with high glucose and explore its role in drug resistance. From in silico analysis and wet lab validation we have shortlisted a set of lncRNAs that are dys-regulated under hyperglycemic conditions in pancreatic cancer cells. Through genetic manipulation, their role in resistance is thereafter investigated. Moving ahead, we explore whether these lncRNAs regulate chromatin dynamics under high glucose conditions thus controlling selective transcription of genes.
Role of GOF p53 in drug resistance: p53 is one of the most important tumor suppressors; however, in over half of human cancers, p53 is inactivated due to mutations. Mutant p53 possess distinctive activities of their own, often not present in the wild-type p53 protein. This endows the mutant proteins with activities that contribute to tumor progression and chemo-resistance. However, the mechanism by which these mutant cancer cells can be sensitized has not been extensively studied. In this project, we explore the potential of regulation of protein homeostasis as a therapeutic strategy to attenuate GOF-p53 mediated effect on drug resistance and survival.
Platelet autophagy and thrombosis: This project explores the role of autophagy and selective autophagy like, mitophagy in low oxygen induced platelet activation and thrombosis. The objective of this project is directed towards reducing and designing an appropriate therapy to prevent hypoxia induced thrombosis in people moving to high altitudes, especially, the soldiers. In parallel we are also investigating platelet and circulating tumor cell (CTC) interaction and its crosstalk with endothelial cells.

The components are premixed in the mixing chamber and are then deposited on the spectroscopic window of the cold head of the cryostat where rapid cooling of the mixed gases takes place and forms the matrix. Infrared spectroscopy is performed on the deposited matrix to understand the nature of the interactions.
Simple organic syntheses - involving one or two steps.

The technique of Matrix Isolation allows us to study reactive intermediates, radicals, strained rings, etc. by trapping and isolating the reactive molecules in a cavity surrounded by one or more layers of inert material (Ar, N2 etc.) thereby inhibiting the diffusion of the substrate. Various spectroscopic techniques, such as, UV- VIS and IR can be used to study the isolated materials.
