Dr. Rajashree Das

Designation :  Associate Professor

Area of Interest :  My research interest is on the molecular analysis of cag pathogenicity island of Helicobacter pylori strains. My thesis research focused on cag pathogenicity island and molecular analyses of Helicobacter pylori, to gain insights into the interplay between the virulent genes and disease outcome and also contributed importantly to our elucidation of mechanisms of susceptibility and resistance to metronidazole, a critical component of combination therapies that are used against Helicobacter pylori. My present research is focused on the role of Helicobacter pylori on Gastro esophageal reflux disease and high rate of gastric cancer in north east India.

Designation :  Associate Professor

Area of Interest :  Effect of Natural Molecular Crowding on Nucleic Acid Structure and its Stability: Biophysical and Biochemical Approach.


Dr. Navkiran Kaur

Designation :  Associate Professor

Area of Interest :  The simplistic view of diseases like cancer and cardiovascular diseases has been redefined by more complex concept of ongoing inflammatory responses. Biomarkers have gained immense scientific and clinical value and interest being potentially useful along the whole spectrum of the disease process. The detailed understanding of these molecules has been considerably advanced during the last decade. Advances in genomics, proteomics and molecular pathology have generated many candidate biomarkers with potential clinical value. Our interest is to understand the change in molecular events due to altered expression of various proteins during diseased conditions and correlate the findings with the clinical outcome of the associated disease.

Dr. Biswajit Saha

Designation :  Professor

Area of Interest : 

  1. Medicinal and Synthetic Organic Chemistry
  2. Heterocyclic Chemistry
  3. Combinatorial Chemistry and Exploration of the interface between Chemistry and Biology through target Oriented Approach for making Biologically Significant Molecules.


Dr. Rajpal Srivastav

Designation : Assistant Professor

Area of Interest : 

  1. Replication Biology, Mycobacterium pathogenesis, Host-pathogen interactions, Microbial genomics, proteomics, and associations of metabolic disorders. An important aspect we are investigating is cellular homeostasis mechanisms and decoding replication factors in stress tolerance associated with resistance to anti-microbials. In general, the depletion of the protein stalls the replication process. These proteins associate with pro-proteins to form active complex, required for unwinding during replication process. However, the precise roles of these proteins are still not clear
