Short Profile:

Question and Answers :

What are your future goals? Where do you see your research going?:
1.After working on Animal models for a long research career my present interests are totally focussed on toxicological research on population exposed to toxic metals and Carcinogenic solvents.
2. My future research will be on remedial purposes to decontaminate the drinking water using Molecular tools.

Technologies seem to changing faster than ever, how do you adapt to that? What are the current technologies you are using?:
I have already acted long back in this direction by adopting PCR and then Real time PCR based technologies in my lab about 4-5 years back as soon as they were being popular in the science, accordingly I am updating myself to adopt newer Molecular techniques, Transgenics by generating enough funding from various sources.

In the broader picture, where do you see the application for your cutting-edge research?:
Future is going to be having World war on water and Energy resources and my present focus on Petroleum products as well as newer energy sources along with decontamination of water seems to be a quite futuristic view.

Fast forward to 2020. What’s your vision of Genomics in 2020?:
What to talk of 2020 this Genomics will be the real tool in all of our daily life like Nanotechnology in current times to persist till at least 2050.
