Research

Our main Research interest is the role of actin cytoskeleton in cancer cell migration


Presently Working

1.Expression and functional characterization of actin nucleation by formin.
2.Molecular mechanisms of actin binding protein in development.
3.Characterization of novel Formin binding proteins in cell migration.
4.Isolation and characterization of novel actin binding proteins in cancer.
5.Role of formin in neurite outgrowth and synaptogenesis.

Development

Our approaches are various: use invitro and invio technique of molecular biology, cell biology, protein biochemistry and primary neuron culture to address the said research problems.
