Research Interest

Research interests include Biochemistry and Molecular Biology  of developing and aging brain with special  reference to DNA‐damage and its repair. More than 120 research  publications in national and international journals and books. His out standing contributions include establishing the link between aging and decreased DNA repair,particularly the base excision repair, in brain. His lab has also identified the locus of defect in DNA repair pathway during aging and restoration of the repair potential in vitro through supplementation of the factors‐DNA   Polymerase beta and DNA‐ ligase. Guided 17 students for Ph.D and 12 students for M.Phil apart from many post graduate students for project work.
