Ms. Mahati Krishna (UGC-CSIR fellow) successfully completed her PhD viva-vose examination.
Title of thesis : 'Role of enriched environment and antidepressant treatment on depression-induced cognitive deficits' Guide : Dr B. S. Shankaranarayana Rao, Additional Professor, Dept of Neurophysiology. Chistofer Thomas (4th year PhD Scholar) presented his work on the modulatory role of Amygdala in Stress.
Deepa P defended her PhD thesis work on "Expression Of Neurotrophic Factors In Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) – An Experimental Study On Rat Model And Nsc-34 Cell Line".
Guide: Prof TR Raju, Senior Professor of Neurophyisology Co-Guide: Dr A Nalini, Additional Professor of Neurology Shilpa BM (2nd year PhD scholar) presented her PhD progress report on her work related to chronic stress.
Anu Mary Varghese (3rd year PhD Scholar) presented her Annual work presentation related to ALS patients on 17th Nov 2011.
Shankaranarayani R defended her PhD work entitled "ALS-CSF induced motor neuronal degeneration in adult rats".
Guide: Dr. TR Raju Co-Guides: Dr. Laxmi TR, Dr. Nalini A Dr. Aparna Sharma (Research Associate), presented her PhD work done at the Institute of Medical Radiation Biology at University of Duisberg-Essen in Dec 2010. The title of her Thesis was "Studies of Mre11-Ku interaction and its modulation by ionizing radiation". Her Guide was Prof. George Iliakis.
DNA might get damaged for a variety of causes including UV light and ionization radiation as well as metabolic reasons. There are predominantly three DNA repair pathways in eukaryotic cells. Two of these are well described and the third, non homologous end joining(NHEJ) backup pathway, has been elucidated by Dr. Iliakis' lab. All the three pathways involve the trimeric protein MRN complex (that have the proteins MRE11, RAD50 and NBS1) that acts as a sensor for DNA damage and relocates to double strand breaks of DNA. Ku is a protein heterodimer that is involved in binding at the DNA damage site. Aparna's study explored the time kinetics and dose dependence of MRE11& Ku70 interaction post irradiation. The second part of her work involved understanding the increased Poly ADP Ribose Polymerase 1 (PARP1) activity with Histone1 in the backup pathway. Dayalan defended his PhD work on "Neural Correlates of behavioral alterations in fear learning and memory following early maternal separation in rats" on 18th Aug 2011.
Guide: Laxmi T Rao (NIMHANS) Co-Guides: Prof. Bindu M Kutty (NIMHANS) Prof. Sumantra Chattarji (NCBS) Dr. Sriranjini Jaideep ( MD, Ayurveda) defended her PhD work entitled "Effect of Ayurvedic therapies on motor recovery in pakshaghata (stroke)."
