About

I am a Professor at the Department of Zoology, The Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda, India, specializing in understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying regeneration, development, and environmental toxicology. My research focuses on the scar-free regeneration of tail tissues in wall lizards (northern house geckos), providing insights into wound healing and tissue regeneration. Additionally, my lab investigates the roles of Cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2) and thyroid hormones in the embryonic development of model organisms such as zebrafish and domestic chicks.

In the realm of environmental toxicology, we study the impact of environmental contaminants and pesticides on embryonic development, particularly their role in inducing structural abnormalities in chick embryos. Our lab is equipped with advanced expertise in proteomic and transcriptomic analyses, enabling us to address critical questions in biology and environmental health.

By integrating developmental biology and toxicology, my research aims to provide a deeper understanding of regeneration and developmental processes while addressing pressing environmental challenges.
