Introduction
I joined IBGE in 2008 and till then I am serving here as a Senior Scientific Officer at this institute. Major areas of my interest are Non Communicable disease research i.e. Diabetes Mellitus, Obesity, Metabolic Syndrome, Hypertension, Cancer Genetics & Therapeutics, Cardiovascular Disorders etc.
On the other hand, I am also conducting the Cytogenetic Analysis/Karyotyping for the detection of Chromosomal Anomalies (Down’s Syndrome, Turner Syndrome, Klinefilter Syndrome, Ambiguous Gender etc.). Research experience I gained during my stay at IBGE has provided me with an opportunity to perceive things at a profound level and make me able to learn new things to get the job done.
