Reproductive Endocrinology, Thyroid disorders, Diabetes, Lysosomal storage disorders, infertility, Neurological disorders, Down syndrome, Mental retardation developmental phenotypes etc. Since 1995 we are collaborating with the laboratory of Prof. Stylianos Antonarakis at University of Geneva medical school, Geneva Switzerland . In association with Swiss lab, we have successfully completed the project on Clouston syndrome gene identification. In addition to this our lab members visited Geneva for advanced training in Molecular Genetics. We are now in the process of identifying suitable collaborators for identification gene/s responsible for few neurological disorders like bipolar effective disorder, Schizophrenia and individuals with congenital heart defects. We have enough families/samples identified suitable for the study. We would like to analyse them with the help of collaborators who have this technology. At present Two of my doctoral students are working with these.

Research Support:

Over 150 and

60 in highly reputed national and International journals.
