Zebrafish Genome Biology at CSIR Institute of Genomics and Integrative Biology
Laboratories at CSIR Institute of Genomics and Integrative Biology

Dr. Sridhar Sivasubbu
Sridhar Sivasubbu Lab is interested in developing zebrafish as a model for human biology and disease related processes. His group uses a combination of genetics and genomics tools to decipher gene function and genome organization in vertebrates. His group is interested in understanding:Molecular mechanisms underlying cardiovascular and vascular development & disorder Genome organization and architecture in vertebrates

Dr. Chetana Sachidanandan
Chetana Sachidanandan is interested in Identification of molecular players important for development and disease pathophisiology using a combination of genetic and chemical screens in zebrafish.

Dr. Vinod Scaria
Vinod Scaria is a medico turned computational biologist. His lab analyses zebrafish genome towards understanding parallels in vertebrate genome organisation and regulation and discovering candidate disease genes and regulatory mechanisms in disease processes.

Colaborator labs
Dr. Souvik Maiti
Studying the anatgonostic effect of aminoglycosides on microRNA biogenesis using zebrafish as a model organism.
