Present Position
Assistant Professor, Department of Environmental Science, University of Calcutta.

With the understanding that "DNA is not the destiny", this lab focuses primarily on Epigenetics study from avaried perspective. Epigenetics plays a prime role in diseases susceptibility and differential manifestation, gene-environment interaction, behavioural adaptations and also in therapeutic interventions. Our lab currently focuseson the following research dimensions.
