Plant Signaling Group (Swarup Roy Choudhury)

We are interested in identifying the molecular and cellular mechanisms behind signal transduction in plants to unravel plant signaling pathways extending from receptors to signaling cascades and target genes that are crucial to root nodule development, plant architecture determination and stress adaptation. The important questions are: How signaling is initiated by receptor-like kinases and which… Continue reading Plant Signaling Group (Swarup Roy Choudhury)

Genomics and Systems Biology group (Sreenivas Chavali)

Our research aims at obtaining a holistic understanding of how variation in information flow affects phenotypes and fitness. We particularly focus on understanding how sequence variation- single nucleotide changes, repeats or compositional bias within intrinsically disordered proteins/regions influence the function(s), regulation and evolution of biomolecules, with special emphasis on health and disease. To address this,… Continue reading Genomics and Systems Biology group (Sreenivas Chavali)

Single Molecule Biophysics Lab (Nibedita)

Our research focuses on amalgamating DNA nanotechnology and biomolecule in its native form to answer basic questions that are pertinent to the field of Biophysics. In particular we are interested in designing reconfigurable DNA structures responsive to external stimuli and its potential application in therapeutics. We are also interested in exploring the mechanism of biomolecule… Continue reading Single Molecule Biophysics Lab (Nibedita)

Plant Stress Biology group (Annapurna Devi Allu)

Our research focuses on understanding the transcriptional and epigenetic regulation of plant growth and stress responses. We are particularly interested in studying the effect of priming on plant response to individual and combined environmental stresses. The molecular mechanisms that determine the duration of primed state and stress memory in plants will be investigated.
