Current Research Interest

  1. Effect of cellular microenvironment on miRNA-mediated gene regulation in mammalian cells.
  2. Role of host cell miRNAs and other post-transcriptional factors in regulation of parasitic infection of mammalian cells
  3. Mechanism of mRNA compartmentalization to translationally active polyribosomes and translationally inactive RNP-granules/P-bodies in mammalian cells.
