Dr. Anirban Basu
Scientist-VII / Senior Professor
Research
The focus of Dr. Basu’s laboratory is to understand the patho-physiology of infection and inflammation in the central nervous system (CNS). The lab’s current research is focused on viral infections of the CNS and neurodegenerative diseases. The lab makes use of mouse models, cell culture systems and cutting-edge research technologies such as massive parallel sequencing to generate data. Ongoing projects in the lab include elucidating the molecular mechanisms involved in neurons, neuronal stem cells, astrocytes and microglia in virus-induced inflammation and cell death; identifying key epigenetic factors such as miRNAs and lncRNAs in viral pathogenesis and understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying debilitating clinical symptoms of viral infections such as acute flaccid paralysis. Among the latest endeavors of Dr. Basu’s lab are to study the potential role of gut microbiome in viral CNS infections via the gut-brain axis and to explore the network between the psyche, endocrine system, CNS pathology and immune response. He has also explored the vector gut microbiota as a means to treat neurotropic arboviral diseases. The group aims to bring forward new knowledge and design therapeutic strategies to alleviate CNS infection. Dr. Basu’s work provides novel and general principle for cure of the whole spectrum of neuroinflammatory diseases that include infection of the CNS and neurodegenerative disorders that affects millions of people worldwide.
