SHARAD PUROHIT: 
       ASSISTANT PROFESSOR
Research Areas
Proteomic and bioinformatics approaches for identification of protein markers leading to the loss of cellular homeostasis in human diseases.

Molecular networks of signaling cascades driven by protein(s) for the regulation of cellular process in health and disease.

In vivo cellular signaling events as an intimate product of the local cellular ecology, cell-cell interaction and cell matrix interaction, includes the influence of soluble factors and post-translational modifications of proteins.
High-throughput screening of parent libraries for small molecules to identify drug targets for treatment/therapy of type-1 diabetes  

RESEARCH PROJECTS
Identification and validation of serum biomarkers for T1D
The aim of proposed study is to identify diabetes associated differences in serum proteins and their potential in prediction of type 1 diabetics in young.  
Identification and validation of serum biomarkers for T1D
The research proposal is aimed to study the temporal changes in levels of IL-1ra and MIP-1b during the time course of progression of antibody negativity to development of antibodies to pancreatic autoantigens, resulting in type-1 diabetes.
