13th RNA INDIA MEETING 2026, April 27th-29th, 2026
We are interested in understanding how neurons are born, how they differentiate and take up specific roles in the developing brain and the long-term consequences of variations in this process. Non-coding RNAs are a large and relatively unknown component of gene regulation in neurons. We use zebrafish to study inherited RNA, earthworms to study regeneration and cell lines to study neuronal cell death caused by polyglutamine disease.
Projects
Fifteen students have completed their Ph.D. from our lab. Another five are working towards their doctoral degree currently. We have also hosted young scientists and are happy to help clinicians to set up research studies into non-coding RNA biomarkers.
We post our manuscripts on bioRxiv as soon as we think they are ready. Please review our work and let us know what you think!
We participate in workshops, talks, school interactions, and public engagement activities. Some lab members use their articiWe have also written a few newspaper articles and popular science articles which you can read here.
