Current R&D Activities:
Studies are undergoing in the CSIR Networked Project since 2003 "Predictive Medicine using Repeat and Single Nucleotide Polymorphism". Objective is to develop database on the status of "SNPs" and Repeat Polymorphism in the selected gene GSTM1 amongst Indian population and its association with disease.

Genetic polymorphism in metabolizing enzyme genes of control and diseased population and their association with the diseases. Studies are being conducted on GST polymorphism in control and Breast cancer & Chronic Myeloid Leukemia patients in collaboration with SGPGIMS & KGMU, Lucknow.

Training has been imparted to students of different universities such as Amity Univ., Allahabad Agricultural Institute Deemed Univ, Allahabad, APS Univ. Rewa, C.S.J.M. Univ. Kanpur, Gorakhpur Univ., Meerut Univ.

These students were given hands on-training on Nucleic acid isolation, PCR, RFLP, etc.
