My work focuses on the functional role of lncRNA Hmrhl in Chronic Myeloid Leukemia where its expression is significantly upregulated. Through our studies we have established association of Hmrhl with various biological processes and important genes, which it regulates via triple helix formation at target loci.

I am interested in exploring the functional role of Mrhl lncRNA in mouse Spermatogonial Stem Cells (SSC). We have done a substantial amount of work in mouse B-type spermatogonia wherein Mrhl regulates Wnt signaling pathway resulting in meiotic commitment through control of SOX8 transcription factor expression.
