The project is to understand the molecular aspects of kidney disease. This involves characterizing cellular and circulating/ soluble factor in clinical samples derived from the kidney disease patients. This study would include various molecular and cellular techniques (FACS, ELISA, qPCR, cell culture, NGS, etc.) that will allow us to understand the role of molecular or cellular factors involved in development and progression of kidney disease in children. The project is funded by the Department of Biotechnology, Government of India, under the scheme of Ramalingaswami Re-entry Fellowship.
Core Responsibilities : Specific tasks will be assigned based on skills & project needs.
