Our main Research interest is the role of actin cytoskeleton regulation in development and disease:

1.Expression and functional characterization of formin family of proteins.

2.Molecular mechanisms of regulation of Daam1 activity by Dishevelled/RhoA.

3.Characterization of novel Formin binding proteins.

4.Isolation and characterization of novel actin binding proteins.

5.Role of formin in neurite outgrowth and synaptogenesis.

Our approaches are various: use invitro and invio technique of molecular biology, cell biology, protein biochemistry

and primary neuron culture to address the above research problems.

Teaching

I teach Biochemistry, Cell Biology theory courses along with various other laboratory courses.
