Biography
I currently hold a SERB-Distinguished Fellowship at the National Centre for Biological Sciences in Bengaluru. My group studies regulation of calcium ion levels over minutes and hours in neurons and we have focused our efforts in understanding why altered calcium signals lead to loss of motor coordination with age. Our findings show that slow calcium dynamics affect the expression of specific neuronal genes from fruit flies and in human stem-cell derived neural precursor cells. These findings open new avenues of therapeutic intervention in the neurodegenerative conditions of Parkinson’s syndrome and Spino-cerebellar Ataxias.
