Major focus of the lab

 

To understand the mechanism of tumor development at a molecular level and to understand  the disregulation of cellular pathways in various cancers.  

 

 

Research Interest

 

To study Cell cycle regulation, Novel Tumor Suppressor Genes and Molecular mechanisms of Cellular Transformation. 

 

 

Long term goal

 

Identification of potential molecular targets and development of innovative strategies for cancer detection and treatment.   

 

 

Currently, the lab is actively involved in investigating the mechanisms of HPV oncogene mediated inactivation of several key cellular regulators as an effort towards identifying novel molecular targets against HPV related malignancies.  Other research focus of the lab  includes  study of oncogenic mechanisms  of FOXM1 and elucidation of unknown functions of novel tumour suppressor genes.
