RESEARCH

The main areas of the faculty's expertise and interest are detailed in this section. The research activities involve both computational and experimental approaches. Collaborative and contract research projects are also being considered. Publications from IBAB and tools developed by our students and faculty are enumerated here.

IBAB-Shodhaka joint research work wins the best poster award (shared by 3 posters) at Bangalore Bio 2009!

Dr. N. Yathindra
It has been our endeavor to decipher stereochemistry, polymorphism and topological properties of 2', 5' DNA and 2', 5' RNA duplexes to obtain insights from a stereochemical perspective for Nature's choice of 3', 5' scaffold. More...

Dr. Kshitish Acharya
A database for co-expressed genes, a mammalian promoter prediction tool and a primer designing tool are being developed. Certain enzymes are also being cloned, expressed and purified. More...

Dr. Shipra Agrawal
Meta data analysis of microarray expression data of human cancers and genetically inherited disorders are being performed to decode the pathway cross-talk information. Computational analysis and database development has also been initiated on small regulatory RNA molecules, cancer epigenesis and chromatin remodeling factors. More...
