Research
Interest
- Understanding mechanism of faithful chromosome segregation during meiotic cell division.
- Functional studies of different regulatory factors involved in vegetative cell division.
- Study the mechanism of remarkable stability of extrachromosomal element (2 micron plasmid) in budding yeast with an objective of developing replicating vectors for stable mammalian gene expression and gene therapy applications.
- Exploring 2 micron plasmid biology to study fundamental biological processes like chromatin organization and post translational protein modifications.
