Educational Qualification : PhD
Research experience :
“Mechanism of Natural Killer Cell Activation in controlling Dengue virus infection in Humanized mouse model”
In humanized mouse model of Dengue infection, human NK cell control viremia in Interferon-? dependent manner. NK cell activation is dependent on cell to cell contact with virus infected dendritic cells.

Postdoctoral Fellow, Department of Pathology, Saint Louis University, Saint Louis, USA “Hepatitis C Virus mediated innate immunity”
-
Hepatitis C virus induced autophagy and its role in viral pathogenesis
HCV infection impairs innate immune response by inducing autophagy in hepatocytes. Autophagy induction also help virus to facilitate infectious virus particle production and establish infection in hepatocytes
-
Molecular mechanism involved in evasion of innate immune response by Hepatitis C virus
HCV infection suppresses interferon alpha induced interferon stimulated gene expression proteins, such as, ISG56 and IFITM1 in hepatocytes. HCV directly reduces interferon alpha production by inhibiting nuclear translocation of IRF7.
-
HCV infection and modulation of microRNA in virus mediated pathogenesis
MicroRNA profiling in HCV infected patients reveals gradual increase in miR-20a expression with increase in severity of liver fibrosis. HCV infection suppresses expression of miR-181c to enhance HOXA1 expression and cell growth in hepatocytes.
Ph.D, Hepatitis Department, National Institute of Virology, Pune, Maharashtra, India “Development of Combined DNA Vaccine for Hepatitis B and E Viruses”
-
Characterization of humoral and cellular response in candidate combination vaccine utilizing liposome encapsulation approaches of DNA, protein and DNA + protein formulations against hepatitis B and hepatitis E in mice
-
Anti-HBs and anti-HEV IgG titres of individual component of DNA+ protein formulations were comparable to respective titres in combination vaccine of DNA+ protein formulations
-
Equivalent levels of IgG1 and IgG2a were observed in combination vaccine group against both components of the vaccine.
-
Combination vaccine group showed mixed Th1/Th2 cytokine profile.
