Bio

Dr. Raja Biswas is a Professor at Infectious Diseases Group, Amrita Center for Nanosciences and Molecular Medicine (ACNSMM). He joined Amrita in June 2009. He has completed his Ph. D. and post doctoral work in the field of Microbial Genetics and Infectious Diseases from the Department of Microbial Genetics, University of Tuebingen, Germany.

He is the recipient of Ramalingaswami fellowship, Rapid Grant for Young Scientists from Department of Biotechnology in 2009 and Fast track grant for young scientists from Department of science and technology in 2010. He has to his credit nearly 106 publications in reputed journals like Molecular Microbiology, Journal of Bacteriology, Infection & Immunity and Journal of Biological Chemistry.

Dr. Biswas heads the infectious diseases laboratory at Amrita and his research is focused on understanding more about the mechanism of infectious diseases specifically in understanding the complex network of host-microbe interactions, pathogenic mechanisms to escape the surveillance of host immune system and mechanisms for drug resistance.

Research

A significant part of human evolution was dedicated to developing ways to thwart microbial intrusion. Discovery of antibiotics and advent of vaccination contributed in reducing the number of death due to infectious diseases. However, changes in environment, population explosion, urbanization and misuse of the antibiotics along with the diminished effectiveness of approaches to disease control, has led to emergence and reemergence of many infectious diseases. It is estimated that infectious diseases are the leading cause of death after cancer and heart diseases.

Many of the microbes are constant human companion which can turn into pathogens given a chance. Bacterial colonization does not necessarily prevent infection but does elicit specific antibody response. These contradicting observations makes a thorough understanding of human and pathogen interaction imperative for the discovery of new mechanisms to combat microbial infections.

The infectious lab works on developing methods to prevent and minimize microbial infections by interrupting the bacterial pathogenesis. We aim to translate the understanding of human –pathogen interaction to design novel preventive and therapeutic strategies against microbes. As a successful step towards translation of our findings into clinical use, Drosophila melanogaster model for infectious has been developed in our lab.

 

Main Research Focus
  • Understanding the pathogenesis and prevention of sepsis and septic arthritis caused by Staphylococcus aureus.
  • Understanding the structural- function relationship between host protein and bacterial ligand, in collaboration with Dr. Gopi Mohan.
  • Development of hydrogels and bandages for the treatment of infections in collaboration with Dr. R. Jayakumar.
  • Investigating the potential of nano-drug delivery for treating infectious diseases.
  • Studying the potential of probiotic for disease prevention.
  • Establishing the repository for long-term storage of samples to study the genetic changes leading to cancer in HPV patients.
