Broad Research Theme of the Lab:
The principal research interest of the lab is to comprehensively understand the biology of specific cancer types that are common in India and distinct from their western counterpart(s). Based on results obtained from 25 years of work performed on patient-derived colorectal, pancreatic, esophageal and oral tumor samples, we are presently studying the canonical and aberrant functions of chromatin remodelers ARID1B and ARID2. In parallel, based on funding from the DBT- Wellcome Trust India Alliance, we are using genomics and cutting edge molecular / cellular / clinic-pathological approaches to comprehensively characterize early-onset colorectal cancer in the Indian population.
