RESEARCH
The major focus of our lab is to understand the signaling between anti-apoptotic proteins and cyclin dependent kinases and combining their targeted actions for the improved therapeutic strategies to overcome apoptotic resistance in leukemia. Our lab is collaborating with a biotech based organization – Aurigene Drug Discovery and Development Technologies Bangalore and Prof Marina Konopleva at MD Anderson Cancer Centre, Houston to address the targeted approaches in leukemia. Monitoring of minimal residual disease (MRD) by molecular markers, identification of miRNA-mRNA network in AML and characterization of high-risk acute promyelocytic leukemia are other research aspects of the laboratory.
