Areas of Specialization
Immunology, Immune Tolerance, Allergy Immunotherapy, Immunotoxicity
Current R&D/S&T Activities

In a broader perspective our primary research interest is to assess the impact of food additives, adulterants and allergens on the immune system and ways to mitigate their toxic manifestations.  Major thrust areas of interest where our group focuses are:-

 

  • Allergy is a major public health concern globally for which there is no cure. The breach of peripheral immune tolerance to T-cells mediated by regulatory T-cells (Tregs) is a major cause of allergy. We are try to develop novel immune intervention strategies for development of allergen specific Tregs, which shall help in restoration of immune tolerance in allergic patients. Further, our group aims to understand the novel attributes of proteins imparting allergenic property. Based on the knowledge gaps addressed through these studies, we aim to project novel immunotherapeutic strategies for a permanent cure of allergy. 

  • Health risk assessment in Indian population pertaining to exposure of health supplements, food additives, contaminants and adulterants.
