Rajesh Pamanji

About

Dr. Rajesh Pamanji is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Pondicherry University, specializing in toxicology, zebrafish biology, and translational biomedical research. His research focuses on zebrafish-based disease modelling, developmental and environmental toxicology, neurodegenerative disorders, drug discovery, and multi-omics approaches for predictive toxicology and risk assessment. He has extensive expertise in zebrafish facility establishment, CRISPR-based approaches, molecular toxicology, and OECD-guided toxicity evaluations. Dr. Pamanji has authored numerous peer-reviewed publications and book chapters in the fields of toxicology, environmental health, microbiome research, and neurobiology, with particular emphasis on mechanistic toxicology and regulatory applications of zebrafish models.
