Molecular Reproductive Neuroendocrinology, Behavioural Neuroendocrinology, Enzymology, Reproductive Endocrinology, Endocrine disruption :
For the past 18 years, I have been actively engaged in work related to teleost neuroendocrinology and its involvement in reproduction. My Ph.D work consisted of the Environmental and Hormonal control of Brain Tyrosine Hydroxylase Activity in the catfish Heteropneustesfossilis in Relation to Reproductive Cycle. Later during my post-doctoral research under the prestigious JSPS fellowship I have worked on Implication of Molecular Mechanism on Sexual Dimorphism of the Brain in Japanese medaka. My current research interest focuses on cloning and characterization of candidate genes which are involved in sex determination, differentiation, regulation of reproduction, impact of endocrine disrupting chemical on fish reproduction, molecular neuroendocrinology. Recently, we have cloned and characterized aquaporin, aromatase gene (brain and ovaian), vasotocin, isotocin, novel nonapeptidesevatocin, vasotocin receptors, COMT, catecholestrogens, gonadotropins, etc in the catfish Heteopneustesfossilis. Further, we have studied role of steroidal pheromones in regulation of brain catecholamines. Currently, we are working in the area of developing recombinant gonadotropin for successful captive breeding of catfish. At present we are running collaborative research with France, Japan, Australia, Spain and Canada. Y research work focuses on innovation of aquaculture technology, toxicology which can train students, farmers and generate general awareness among local people.
