Neurobiology, with special emphasis on neurodegeneration and developmental neuroscience
Current R&D
Activities:
Determine/characterize cellular pathogenic mechanism of action of
metals and pesticides on developing brain: Epidemiological survey
reveals that exposure to environmental metals and pesticides is a critical
concern for the developing Central Nervous System (CNS). With this in
mind, the toxic effect of metals and metal aggregates, and pesticides on
developing CNS needs to be investigated. Genomics and proteomics based
approaches are being used to identify the aberrations of CNS development
when exposed to the metals and pesticides. Both animal and cell culture
studies are being performed for the purpose.
