Plant Development & Applied Genetics Group (Eswar Rami Reddy)

Our group focuses on deciphering the molecular mechanisms and the regulatory systems that enable plants to orchestrate complex root system architecture. Further, improvement of tolerance in crop plants to abiotic stresses (drought, salt and heavy metal) by improving root traits.

Molecular Microbiology Laboratory (Raju Mukherjee)

The focus of our research is circumscribed around understanding the biology of Mycobacterium species with an ultimate objective of developing strategies for successful interventions to stop the diseases (e.g. Tuberculosis) caused by these microorganism.

My programme relocated to IISER-Tirupati from TIFR-Mumbai very recently. I continue my research efforts at IISER-Tirupati that are mechanism-centric and are mainly directed towards two questions of cellular-molecular biology. How do chromosomes maintain quasi-stability against a variety of cellular stresses? We probe signaling mechanisms that lead to such genome-homeostasis in mammalian cells. Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, single… Continue reading B J Rao

Prof. B J Rao brings enormous experience in research and administration from TIFR to IISER Tirupati joining as a Senior Professor in Biology.

Professor Basuthkar Jagadeeshwar Rao has joined IISER Tirupati as a Senior Professor in Biology with effect from April 2, 2018. Prof. Rao was a Senior Professor of Biology at TIFR Mumbai. He will be the Chair of Biology at IISER Tirupati. Prof. Rao obtained his BSc from Nizam College and his MSc from Osmania University,… Continue reading Prof. B J Rao brings enormous experience in research and administration from TIFR to IISER Tirupati joining as a Senior Professor in Biology.
