Research Interests
The central theme of my group`s research is to understand the function of the protein optineurin and to study the functional defects caused by disease-associated mutations in optineurin. Mutations in the coding region of the gene OPTN, which codes for the protein optineurin, cause glaucoma and ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis). Both of these are neurodegenerative diseases. In glaucoma, the loss of vision is irreversible, which occurs due to progressive degeneration of retinal ganglion cells in the optic nerve head. ALS is a fatal progressive disease, which involves degeneration of motor neurons of the primary cortex, brainstem and spinal cord. Optineurin is also seen in pathological structures present in Alzheimer`s disease and Parkinson`s disease. The role of optineurin and its mutants in regulating autophagy, membrane vesicle trafficking, signalling, stress response and gene expression is being investigated.
