POST-DOCTORAL RESEARCH EXPERIENCE
2000-2002 - National Institute of Health, USA
 

SCIENTIFIC SUMMARY:
Our research programme addresses the problem of osteoporosis.The major focus is to study relationship of declining sex steroid levels in aging women and men to bone loss. These studies are complimented by animal studies and basic bone biology tools examining bone cells at different stages of differentiation. Our studies represent the leading edge of osteoporosis research, especially in the area of female osteoporosis and basic bone cell biology.

 

RESESARCH INTERESTS

 
Potential new drug  targets for osteoporosis  
Lactational physiology that includes studies on the role of miRNAs responsible for bone mass reversal at the time of weaning
Development of novel delivery system for bone
Comparative proteomic approach to study the changes in the protein expression profiles of the potential anabolics in osteoblasts
 
CURRENT RESESARCH INTEREST
Bone growth mechanisms and regulation including nutritional intervention.Here we are interested in understanding the mechanism for normal bone growth and currently focussing on understanding the growth plate biology and regulation of bone lengthening.  
Relationship between fat and bone mass in high fat diet(HFD) induced osteoporosis model. We hypothesize that HFD aggravates ovariectomy related complications. We test this by investigating lipid metabolism, adipose tissue remodelling, adipokines and inflammatory cytokines.
