Honored to present both a short talk and a poster at GRC 2026: Mutagenesis in Waterville Valley, NH. I discussed our latest work on BRCA1-associated tandem duplications. Thanks to the organizers, postdoc mentor Prof Ralph Scully & lab. #GRC #Mutagenesis #DNARepair #CancerResearch

Why do some lung cancer patients relapse early on targeted therapy? Our study with Drs. K Prabhash, @VanitaNoronha & team from @TataMemorial in collab with Drs. J Khandare, G Shafi, & team from @onecelldx published in ESMO Open (@ESMO_Open) sheds insights. sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

Thank you @the_hindu and @IndianExpress for featuring the studies! Congratulations to @amtdutt Sir, Team Fusion and Team DOME!!
The Tail & Tango of Cancer genome-- we developed a tool “DOME” to tame the tail of rare mutations; in another study, we describe the first chromosomal tango “Chr 11/5 fusion” in oral cancer genome. Thanks to @ACTREC_TMC,@CRI_ACTREC,@DBTIndia,@India_Alliance,@DAEIndia,@UnivofDelhi

Delighted to share the findings from my PhD thesis, highlighting the role of a novel oncogenic fusion transcript, UBE3C-LRP5, in oral cancer. Pyrvinium pamoate targets the fusion-positive tumors! Highly grateful to @amtdutt for the support and encouragement. Kudos to the team!!
UBE3C-LRP5, novel oncogenic fusion-transcript in oral cancer @ 5.3% in Indian & 1.2% TCGA patients. Kudos to @dbhaskarjnv & Ashwin Butle in collab with Dr. Sudhir Nair! Pyrv' pamoate, an FDA approved dewormer, targets this fusion. A potential game-changer! nature.com/articles/s41698-0…

Progesterone improves survival in br ca pts with node +ve. It works by modulating cell' stress response and inflammation.NcRNAs and the SGK1/AP-1/NDRG1 axis are involved. Pg inhibits cell migration and invasion.A precis by Gaurav,@Suhail_Shaad,@MukulGods! doi.org/10.18632/oncotarget.…

Glad to share that a part of my thesis work at @amtdutt lab is published in @CommsBio in collab with Dr Sudhir Nair @ACTREC_TMC & @docdcruz. Using genomic, biochemical, in vitro and in vivo studies we show that miR-944/MMP10/AXL axis promotes tongue cancer spread to lymph nodes.
1/n Thrilled to share our publication @CommsBio led by @dbhaskarjnv in collab with Dr Sudhir Nair @ACTREC_TMC & @docdcruz. Using orthotopic tongue cancer mouse models, we show miR944 regulates MMP10 to activate the AXL signaling pathway promoting cancer spread to the lymph nodes.

Glad to be a part of this interesting study @BCRJournal characterizing the role of a lncRNA (DSCAM-AS1), in response to progesterone treatment, in suppression of migration and invasion in breast cancer. Kudos to the entire team! Congratulations to @neelima_yadav and @amtdutt
Pleased to share our work @BCRJournal describing a 3-tiered regulatory network in breast cancer in response to progesterone:how a lincRNA sponges a miRNA to downregulate ER expression! Congratulations to @Neelima__Yadav, @SunderRoma et al. Thank you @ACTREC_TMC and VNCI @DBTIndia
