Dr. V. Pooja
Designation: Professor

Area of Interest: Antimycotics and drug susceptibility.

Dr. Seema Bhatnagar
Designation: Assistant Director

Area of Interest: Syntheis of novel heterocyciv, carbocyclic molecules that preferentially target functionally important sites in receptor. The two main receptors currently under investigation are Estrogen receptor and PI3K isoforms. These molecules have the potential to function as small molecule inhibitors for the receptors.

Dr. Rajashree Das
Designation: Professor

Area of Interest: My research interest is on the molecular analysis of cag pathogenicity island of Helicobacter pylori strains. My thesis research focused on cag pathogenicity island and molecular analyses of Helicobacter pylori, to gain insights into the interplay between the virulent genes and disease outcome and also contributed importantly to our elucidation of mechanisms of susceptibility and resistance to metronidazole. My present research is focused on the role of Helicobacter pylori on Gastro esophageal reflux disease and high rate of gastric cancer in northeast India.

Dr. Madhumita P. Ghosh
Designation: Associate professor

Area of Interest: Ocular Pharmacology and Therapeutics

Dr. Navkiran Kaur
Designation: Associate professor

Area of Interest: The simplistic view of diseases like cancer and cardiovascular diseases has been redefined by more complex concept of ongoing inflammatory responses. Biomarkers have gained immense scientific and clinical value and interest being potentially useful along the whole spectrum of the disease process. Our interest is to understand the change in molecular events due to altered expression of various proteins during diseased conditions and correlate the findings with the clinical outcome of the associated disease.

Dr. Sohini Singh
Designation: Associate Professor

Area of Interest: My research interest lies in evaluating the therapeutic efficacy of antioxidants like Vitamin C, Vitamin E and many others on drug or heavy metal induced toxicity.

Dr. Nahid Siddiqui
Designation: Associate Professor

Area of Interest: To ascertain the possibility of oxidative damage to the erythrocytes during aging in humans by measuring the cytosolic antioxidant enzyme.

Dr. Devalina Ray
Designation: Associate Professor

Area of Interest: Synthetic Organic Chemistry, Medicinal and Natural product Chemistry, Green Chemistry, Cancer Research

Dr. Rajpal Srivastav
Designation: Assistant Professor - III

Area of Interest: Replication Biology, Mycobacterium pathogenesis, Host-pathogen interactions, Microbial genomics, proteomics, and associations of metabolic disorders. An important aspect we are investigating is cellular homeostasis mechanisms and decoding replication factors in stress tolerance associated with resistance to anti-microbials. In general, the depletion of the protein stalls the replication process. These proteins associate with pro-proteins to form active complex, required for unwinding during replication process. However, the precise roles of these proteins are still not clear
