Joined in NIMHANS in January 2017 as an Assistant Professor in Human Genetics and promoted to Associate Professor in July 2020. Previously he was a UGC-Assistant Professor joined in the department of Biotechnology, Bharathiar University in August, 2014 under UGC-Faculty Recharge Program (UGC-FRP). He obtained his PhD in National Institute of Mental Health and neurosciences (NIMHANS), Bangalore, India. During his PhD he was involved in exploring the role of tumor suppressor gene RB1 in human brain tumors. Then he moved to Cleveland Clinic, USA for his postdoctoral research. There he decipher the role of KMT1A (Also known as Suv39H1) a H3K9 histone methyl transferase in normal and abnormal muscle differentiation program. His another postdoctoral research at Roswell Park Cancer Institute, USA is aimed on the role of fusion oncogenic transcription factor PAX3-FKHR in alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma (ARMS), an aggressive skeletal muscle cancer of children, and the development of targeted therapy for ARMS. During this period he isolated small molecule inhibitors of PAX3-FKHR by screening of small molecules library, which is currently under development as novel targeted ARMS-specific therapeutics. He was a DTI-IMPORT Fellow at San Raffaele Scientific Institute, Italy where he was involved in identifying the role of long noncoding RNA, DBE-T in the development of Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy (FSHD), one of the most prevalent types of muscular dystrophy affecting adults and children.
