School of Health Sciences

Department of Human Genetics and Molecular Medicine


The Department for Human Genetics and Molecular Medicine within the School of Health Sciences has been started with an aim to conduct multidisciplinary research in the field of Human Genetics. Research output from this centre will be having direct application in prediction, prevention and therapeutics of human genetic diseases, cancers and other ailments. At present the Centre is in infancy but it is the vision of the Centre to be a premier research unit in the country conducting and promoting groundbreaking research in human genetics. The centre has established state-of–the-art equipment facilities with a mission to offer molecular diagnostic, genetic and proteome profile of various genetic disorders. The centre is also gearing up to carry out prenatal diagnosis and newborn screening in the long run. We are also aiming to provide diagnostic services for congenital malformations and genetic disorders at the chromosomal, biochemical and molecular level. Counselling will be offered to the affected individuals and also their family members. Our aim is to prevent morbidity and mortality due to the genetic disorders and adult onset disorders. Currently different labs at this centre are working on some thrust areas like:

  1. Cancer biology and biomarker studies
  2. Structural and functional analysis of various proteins in human diseases
  3. Identification and characterizing modifier genes involved in disease onset and severity of various genetic disorders
  4. Identifying the susceptibility genes involved in the pathogenesis of the common chronic diseases
  5. Estimation of the risk confers by the genomic variations in different ethnic populations  
  6. Development of chimeric biomolecules as therapeutics
