1. Unveiling the Genetic Basis of Congenital Hearing Loss: Insights and Implications for Indian Populations
Congenital hearing loss, present at birth or acquired shortly after, has various causes including genetics, infections during pregnancy, birth complications, and consanguineous marriages. In India, the estimated prevalence ranges from 0.63 to 6.23 per 1,000 live births.
This project aims to identify the genetic variants and genes responsible for congenital hearing loss, examining the correlation between phenotypic and genotypic information in syndromic and non-syndromic cases across different populations in India.
The outcomes will provide insights into the cause of deafness, uncover related health risks, and establish the risk for other family members and future generations.
2. Advancing Women’s Health: Unveiling Genetic Insights into Breast and Cervical Cancers in Diverse Indian Populations
Women’s wellness tests play a crucial role in maintaining overall health and detecting potential issues. Breast and cervical cancers are major concerns. Globally, breast cancer exceeded 2 million cases in 2020, while cervical cancer accounted for 604,000 new cases and 342,000 deaths.
This project aims to uncover additional genetic variants and genes related to breast and cervical cancers, examining the correlation between phenotypic and genotypic information across diverse populations in India.
The outcomes will identify inherited conditions, assess disease risks, and predict treatment responses for women across different age groups and populations in India.
3. Sustainable Aquaculture: Unraveling Microbial Dynamics for Enhanced Disease Resistance and Environmental Stewardship
This project explores the complex relationships between hosts, microbiota, pathogens, and the environment in aquaculture. Using metagenomics, we analyze the diverse microbial communities and their dynamics under different environmental conditions. By understanding these interactions, we aim to develop strategies to enhance disease resistance, reduce antibiotic use, and promote sustainable practices in aquaculture. The insights gained from this research will contribute to improving productivity while minimizing the industry’s environmental impact. Through a comprehensive exploration of metagenomic data, we strive to advance the sustainability and efficiency of aquaculture for a more resilient and environmentally conscious future.
