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.

Sivakumar Vallabhapurapu Research Area:
We work in the areas of Cancer Biology and Immunology. The focus is on how different signaling pathways regulate specific gene expression signatures in different cancer cell types and in the immune cells. While our major focus is on NF-kB signaling, which is abnormally activated in many cancer types and is the Central Pillar of… Continue reading Sivakumar Vallabhapurapu Research Area:
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
