Education: PhD, Biotechnology, Ch. Charan Singh University, 2006 Areas of expertise: Allergy, Immunology & Infectious Disease Cancer Biology Cardiovascular Sciences Cellular and Molecular Biology Neuroscience Research Interests: Research projects under investigation: 1. Molecular mechanisms underlying learning-dependent modulation of ingestive behavior. The main goal of this project is to understand the complete mechanisms of the molecular events (e.g. networks of genes) in the brain (e.g. networks of neurons) that underlie hedonic coding, which will make it possible to pharmacologically increase the palatability of less calorie-dense foods (e.g. low sugar/low fat). 2.
