  • Developed PCR based method for identification of cashmere (Pashmina) fibre from processed textile products (ICAR patent granted. No. 3400/DEL/2015)
  • For the first time, Booroola fecundity (FecB) gene was discovered in Kendrapada sheep of India
  • Developed prolific sheep strains for higher litter size and growth rate
  • Developed resistant and susceptible Malpura and Avikalin sheep lines against Haemonchus contortus parasite
  • Developed DNA test for identification of benzimidazole resistance in Haemonchus contortus of sheep
  • Developed buffalo transgenic fetal fibroblast cells and embryonic stem cells (ES) cells for NANOG, LIF and FGF2 genes.

Research Projects

My research interest is to elucidate the functional role of bone morphogenetic protein receptor (BMPR-1B) in sheep granulosa cells to understand the mechanism of higher ovulation rate in prolific sheep. Further, I am interested to edit β-lactoblobulin protein, and other milk associated genes in buffalo and goat through CRISPR-Cas9 mediated genome editing technologies.
