Dr. Shamik Sen IIT Bombay Biosciences and Bioengineering One of the most important breakthroughs of this post-genomic era is the finding that in addition to chemical cues, cell behaviour is equally susceptible to physical cues of the environment, including the geometry, topography and physical properties of the extracellular matrix (ECM). From embryonic development to cancer, physical forces play an important role in modulating cell processes including cell sorting, proliferation, differentiation and angiogenesis. The broad goal of my research plan will be to understand how physical forces influence cell and matrix mechanics through a combination of experimental and computational techniques. To contribute to this understanding, I will explore how development and cancer progression are regulated by the physical crosstalk between the cell cytoskeleton and the ECM.

Dr. G. Subrahmanyam IIT Bombay Biosciences and Bioengineering The complexity and fine tuning of T cell and mast cell activation signaling cascades are the focus of the lab. Our studies have shown that a type II PtdIns 4-kinase activity is associated with CD3, CD4, CD7 and CD28 receptors in T cells and with FcRI in mast cells. These studies suggest that type II PtdIns 4-kinases may generate a threshold of signals at plasma membrane that may regulate immune synapse formation, T cell adhesion and infiltration and inflammatory responses. Type II PtdIns 4-kinases have also been shown to play a role in microbial pathogenicity and neuronal signaling. Understanding of type II PtdIns 4-kinases function and its regulators may help in development of rational drug design for immunomodulators and possibly in cancer metastasis. The other projects that have been initiated recently in our lab are on stress signaling mechanisms in a marine algae Dunaliella salina, and Pheodactylum tricornutum. D. salina responds to different stress conditions by accumulating large quantities of carotenoids and the focus of the lab is to dissect out these signaling pathways and generate stable mutants in these pathways. P.tricornutum under stress conditions accumulates large quantities of triacylglycerols and regulation of triacylglycerol biosynthesis is another line of research in the lab

Dr. Prakriti Tayalia IIT Bombay Biosciences and Bioengineering Our lab has progressively been developing various kinds of material based systems for replicating and understanding in vivo physiological phenomena. With that aim, we are working with three-dimensional (3D) cell culture platforms both for delivery of bioactive molecules as well as recruitment or culture of cells, which can broadly be used for the following applications. (1) Material-based gene delivery: We have an in house expertise of making lentiviral particles for different kinds of genetic modification of cells. We have tried a variety of plasmids and have used different material platforms for delivery of these particles to cells in vitro as well as in vivo. We can transduce different cells using various direct or material based approaches to manipulate cells ex vivo or allow in situ (or in vivo) genetic modification of cells respectively. We are using this platform for immunotherapy and tissue regeneration applications. (2) Porous cryogel scaffolds for 3D cell culture: We have also developed a macroporous hydrogel platform for immunotherapy and spheroid formation. Immunotherapy: These porous matrices can be loaded with programming factors such as growth factors (or chemokines) and gene delivery vectors, which can be temporally controlled and used to recruit and manipulate host cells upon in vivo implantation. This approach when used in a more cell specific manner with immune cellshas applications in immunotherapy. Tissue regeneration: Our cryogel matrices are also being developed as an off the shelf degradable macroporous matrix system for full thickness skin regeneration. We plan to develop this system as a substitute for the currently used decellularized cadaveric skin, autografts or other expensive allogeneic cell based or acellular matrices imported in the Indian market. Spheroid formation: By modulating the composition of these porous matrices, we can grow clusters or spheroids of various kinds of cells. These 3D cell culture platforms can be used (1) to understand underlying cellular mechanisms in normal and pathological conditions and (2) for drug screening applications by exploring cell-cell and cell-ECM interactions, influence of immune cells on tumor cells and vice versa. Better understanding of cellular mechanisms in various applications will enable these material based systems developed in our group to be taken forward for some real clinical applications.

K Chandraraj IIT Madras Biotechnology BioEthanol Production Ethanol-Blended-Petrol (EBP) has E3 benefits viz. Economic, Environmental and Energy. India implemented 5% EBP in 2002, proposed to increase to 10% EBP in 2009 and further increase to 20% EBP by 2017. Molasses based ethanol is the only source for ethanol in India. Decline in sugar production in 2008-09 severely affected molasses-ethanol production. Current ethanol production from molasses could meet 5% EBP. To achieve higher ethanol blending other sources are need for ethanol production. Non-food plant sources such as cellulosic plant biomass and sorghum juice are the promising sources to produce bioethanol for EBP program. Our research is focused on process development for economical production of fuel-ethanol from crop residues and sorghum juice. Functional Oligosaccharides (FOS) FOS are oligosaccharides with specific physiological functions beyond the basic nutrition. Because of the increasing health problems, caused by stress at work, environmental pollution and unbalanced food in recent days, there have been concerns over functional foods to maintain good health. FOS have lower sweetness than sucrose, high viscosity, low calorific value, resist hydrolysis in gastrointestinal tract and stimulate the proliferation of probiotics, Bifidobacterium sp. and Lactobacillus sp. We are developing economic process for FOS production from plant biomass using enzymes. Molecular Bioremediation of Cr(VI) Environmental pollution due to industrialization is the major concern. Heavy metal pollution is a serious issue and chromium is one of the highly toxic metal pollutants. Chromium is emitted to environment from several industrial processes including nuclear power generation. Cr at hexavalent oxidation state is highly toxic to living systems. An efficient way of preventing Cr(VI) pollution is its reduction to Cr(III) which is much less toxic. Biocatalysts such as bacteria and enzymes have the capacity to detoxify Cr(VI) by conversion to Cr(III). Molecular techniques can be employed to improve the bioremediation potential of biocatalysts for application in actual polluted sites. Current research in our lab involves isolation and engineering of enzymes for transformation of Cr(VI) to Cr(III).

Nitish R Mahapatra IIT Madras Biotechnology Cardiovascular diseases (coronary heart disease, heart failure, stroke etc.) affect a large section of the adult population and are the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in many countries including India. Recent studies have documented that although the mortality associated with cardiovascular diseases are declining in the developed countries including Western Europe and North America, the burden of cardiovascular diseases continues to rise in the developing countries including India. Notably, South Asians have a greater prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors than the rest of the World, and India itself is estimated to have more than half of the World’s heart disease patients at present. These diseases not only cause enormous loss of human lives, but also lead to huge health care cost, tremendous economic and social burden, declining national productivity and quality of life. The determinants of cardiovascular diseases are multi-factorial, complex and often interrelated. We are interested to understand the molecular and genetic bases of hypertension (elevated arterial blood pressure) because it is the chief risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. Despite extensive research over the past couple of decades, the pathogenesis of hypertension is only partially understood. Besides environmental factors (such as stress, inadequate physical activity, smoking/tobacco use and unhealthy diet that includes higher dietary fats/higher sodium/lower fruits and vegetables), strong influences of genes have been reported. Moreover, hypertension may be associated with and complicated by dyslipidemia (elevated levels of LDL-cholesterol and triglycerides and reduced level of HDL-cholesterol in the circulation), a major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. In addition, diabetes mellitus is another major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. Indeed, more than 65% of people with diabetes mellitus die of some form of heart disease/stroke and heart disease death rates in adults with diabetes are at least two times higher as compared to those without diabetes. Therefore, we are also interested to unravel the genetic and molecular mechanisms that govern the pathogenesis of lipid disorder and type 2 diabetes. Our experimental approach involves identification, transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulation of the candidate/susceptibility genes for hypertension and related cardiovascular disease states. We also study the roles of translated protein products of the candidate genes in disease pathogenesis. Additionally, we work on discovering naturally-occurring functional genetic variants (single nucleotide polymorphisms and haplotypes) that may act as risk factors for development of cardiovascular diseases. We investigate at the cellular level (employing cultured cell lines), utilize animal models (genetically modified rodents) and human subjects (cases versus controls) for our various studies. Results from these studies are likely to shed light on the molecular mechanisms and ultimately help to develop diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for management of the cardiovascular diseases.

Rama S Verma IIT Madras Biotechnology 1- Stem cell proliferation related studies A- Role of Osteoblasts in Stem Cell Proliferation Hematopoiesis is an exquisitely regulated physiological process, which results in the appropriate production of blood cells throughout life. Over the past four decades our understanding of the cellular and molecular basis of hematopoietic regulation has become quite sophisticated. Several hematopoietic growth factor polypeptide hormones have been identified through molecular cloning, which play a key role in this process. In many respect, our current dynamic model of hematopoietic is the leading paradigm in molecular histology. It has established a framework to apply to cell differentiation and renewal in diverse tissue, including liver, skin and intestinal epithelium. Despite these advances, the most important details of the cellular and molecular regulation of stem cell self- renewal and differentiation remain elusive. We are currently addressing these issues through the following: Role of permissive and inductive microenvironment in bone marrow in context to proliferation of stem cell Role of osteoblast in the proliferation of stem cell B- Stem Cell and its Regenerative Potential 2- Construction of Novel & New fusion Toxin (Immunotoxins) Recombinant immunotoxins are antibody-toxin chimeric molecules that kill cancer cells via binding to a surface antigen, internalization and delivery of the toxin moiety to the cell cytosol. In the cytosol, toxins catalytically inhibit a critical cell function and cause cell death. The antibody portion of the chimera targets antigens that are expressed preferentially on the surface of cancer cells. Truncated versions of either diphtheria toxin (DT) or Pseudomonas exotoxin (PE) can be used to construct fusions with cDNAs encoding antibody fragments or cell- binding ligands. Presently, in our lab we have designed several novel constrct which are truncated version of known immunotoxins and novel humanized toxin utilizing the pre-apoptoctic segment of human origin to combat the problems associates with the immnogenicity of the toxin fragment and the non-targeted toxicity noted while treating certain cancers. 3- Cloning & Expression of Therapeutic Protein that have Clinical Importance 4- Development of MAB against EpCAM for Targeting Retinoblastoma with Nanoparticle 5- Biochemical and Molecular Characterization of membrane Protein Receptor) Presently our interest is in “Identification and Purification of Methotrexate Binding protein from the T Lymphocytes 6- Nanotechnology Using synthetic biodegradable micro-molecules and biodegradable biopolymer as scaffold for stem cell differentiation into cardiac tissue for heart injury repair.

K Subramaniam IIT Madras Biotechnology Most of our tissues undergo constant wear and tear. A group of cells, known as the adult stem cells, continuously generate new cells that help our tissues regenerate and repair. In a population of stem cells, while some undergo cell division to self-renew their population, others differentiate to produce the specialized cells that make up a particular tissue. Maintenance of a balance between self-renewal and differentiation is crucial – bias towards self-renewal can cause cancer, and bias towards differentiation will result in the loss of stem cells. My laboratory investigates how this balance is achieved in the case of germline stem cells. Germline stem cells (GSCs) serve as an experimentally-convenient model to study adult stem cell systems. Like the other types of adult stem cells, GSCs are capable of self-renewal and differentiation; they can either replenish themselves through mitosis, or undergo meiotic differentiation to produce the gametes egg and sperm. However, unlike the other adult stem cell populations, GSCs are readily available in genetically-tractable model organisms, such as the free-living nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. Therefore, we have chosen C. elegans GSCs as an adult stem cell model and investigate how these cells choose between mitotic and meiotic fates. This approach allows us to employ the various genetic and biochemical strategies available for the C. elegans animal model to studying adult stem cells. Since the process of mitotic and meiotic fate decisions have been conserved in evolution, we hope our discoveries will be informative to similar studies in other species as well. Currently, our work centres on the RNA-binding protein PUF-8, which belongs to the well-conserved PUF family of RNA regulators. PUF proteins control stem cell proliferation in diverse biological contexts in a number of species. Intriguingly, our results reveal that PUF-8 is essential for both proliferation and differentiation. We find that PUF-8 regulates diverse cellular processes to control germ cell decisions; it accomplishes this by both positively and negatively regulating the translation of certain mRNAs in the germline. In a genetic screen, we isolated new mutant alleles in a number of genes that genetically interact with PUF-8. Presently, we are investigating the biochemical basis of these genetic interactions, to understand how PUF-8 controls self-renewal and differentiation decisions in the germline.

Vani Janakiraman IIT Madras Biotechnology Tuberculosis (TB) is a disease caused by the bacteria Mycobacterium tuberculosis.Tuberculosis claims about 2 million lives annuallyand is the leading cause of death worldwide due to a single bacterial agent. The situation is particularly alarming in several developing countries including India, with India accounting for 30% of the global burden of tuberculosis. In addition, the emergence and spread of drug resistant strains (that are resistant to most antibiotics currently in use)and thesynergistic association of this disease with AIDS, are posing major challenges for tuberculosis control. For these reasons, world health organisation (WHO) has announced tuberculosis as a ‘global emergency’. Mycobacteria are intra-cellular pathogens that have developed specific mechanisms to invade and survive within their host. The host-pathogen interplay is complex. Upon infection with M. tuberculosis, either active active tuberculosis disease can develop or the bacteria can remain dormant causing latent tuberculosis. In latently infected individuals, the infection may reactivate and cause active tuberculosis. The reactivation risk is higher when confronted by immune suppression, for example, upon co-infection with HIV. tuberculosis poses extraordinaryintellectual and medical challenge, as ~40% of its genes are of unknownfunction. The entire genome of M. tuberculosis, comprising approximately 3924 open reading frames, has been sequenced. Examining the mechanisms by which M. tuberculosis activates or evades the host immune responses is a key to developing a greater understanding of the pathology of tuberculosis. Our lab works in the interface of Microbiology and Immunology. Our research interests focus on understanding the host-pathogen interaction in tuberculosis at molecular level and gaining insights into the immune surveillance mechanisms of the host during infection, with an ultimate aim of designing better diagnosis and intervention strategies for tuberculosis. We are specifically interested (i) Identifying and characterizing novel genes that contribute to the virulence and pathogenicity of M.tuberculosis (ii) Understanding the role of novel innate immune receptors in modulating immune responses during tuberculosis (iii) Deciphering bacterial communication in Mycobacteria: Communication in lower organisms is very fascinating. They do so for multiple reasons for example, for virulence enhancement and for acquiring antibiotic resistance. We are trying to unravel the cell to cell communication machinery in Mycobacteria.

We use Structural DNA Nanotechnology to explore important aspects of receptor-mediated regulation of cell behavioural properties like endocytosis, signalling, migration and differentiation. The central paradigm of my research is developing DNA based nanodevices to probe, program and reprogram receptors mediated regulation of cellular functions and to achieve this, we explore techniques of biochemistry, molecular biology and cell biology to program parameters characterizing receptor-ligand properties in in-vitro and in cellular systems. Our research questions are inspired by health-care technologies of interest to pharmaceutical, biomedical and biotechnological companies, and we strongly invest in multi-disciplinary collaborative interactions, involving colleagues from both academics and industry.
