Thanks for stopping by our research page! We are a newly minted research group at the Department of Bioscience and Biotechnology at IIT Kharagpur. We seek to understand the diversity and versatility of defense strategies underlying the arms race between viruses and bacterial surveillance systems by focusing on cyclic-oligoadenylate (cOA) activated auxiliary CARF-effector proteins associated with the type-III CRISPR-Cas system. To do this, we routinely use cryo electron microscopy and X-ray crystallographic techniques. In terms of broad background, we aspire to be a bunch of structural biologists in the group with serious training in necessary biochemistry.
