Who we are?
We are a group at the Indian Institute of Science, united by our interests in morphogenesis. Morphogenesis emphasizes searching for rules that determine the structure, and hence function, of tissues and organs. It also implies an investigation into how such rules are subverted, or new rules innovated, in diseases such as cancer.
We believe...
Our group is diverse across several axes of identities and stages of scientific career. We strongly believe that fostering this diversity along with equality of opportunities, and inclusiveness in practice and attitudes is important to our collective productivity, and towards our efforts to understand, and better, our surroundings.
Our approach
We use several approaches, in house and in collaboration with groups to investigate broadly how cells move within biological environments. Mostly, but not always, these are cancer cells, and we bother ourselves a lot with how they interact with, and remodel, their surrounding extracellular matrix, as well as how their sugars are deregulated.
