Life Memberships

  • Indian Society for the Study of Reproduction and Fertility.

Current Research Activities

  • Spermatogenesis and its regulation at anatomical, cellular and molecular level using mouse and/or rat as animal model.

  • Reproductive toxicity of emerging environmental contaminants like brominated flame retardants (BFRs) using a combination of in vivo, in silico and molecular approaches to investigate as to how the male progeny responds to these contaminants after maternal exposure during lactation.

  • Effect of neonatal hypothyroidism on male reproductive health especially in terms of glucose homeostasis in mouse testis and these experimental models illustrate the thyroid control of testicular differentiation and metabolism during development.

  • Role of certain neuropeptides and cytokines in regulation of spermatogenesis.
