Exploring the frontiers of neurogenetics using Drosophila melanogaster as a model system
Understanding the Molecular and physiological mechanisms of Epileptic behaviour using Drosophila as a model
Epilepsy is one of the rapidly growing neurological disorders around the world, affecting one-third of the population. It is characterised by repeated unprovoked neuronal firing in the central nervous system (CNS) with or without impaired consciousness and convulsions...
Neurotoxic effects of chemotherapeutic drugs using Drosophila melanogaster as a model system
Chemotherapy, a significant part of cancer treatment, damages healthy cells apart from killing cancerous cells. We are interested in analysing the chemo-drug-induced cognitive, cellular, and biochemical impairments...
Microbiomics and Proteomics approach to understanding the aetiology of Alzheimer's Disorder and a therapeutic approach
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a significant age-related human neurodegenerative disease, and it causes the most common form of dementia. About 50 million people were affected by AD in 2020...
