      Our work focuses on Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) using rat model. Motility dysfunction and visceral hypersensitivity are responsible for IBD and IBS mostly in older people. Our aim is to characterize the molecular mechanisms of gastrointestinal motility changes and hypersensitivity in IBD and IBS.

      My dissertation work focussed on identifying new cellular and molecular strategies employed by Mycoplasma agalactiae, the main infectious agent of Contagious Agalactia in sheep and goats, while dealing with its host. Using both in vitro and in vivo infection studies, we have identified new cellular mechanisms like intracellular invasion, systemic infection, variable adhesion and the immune modulation, the strategies through which the pathogen might be able to escape the host immune clearance and cause repeated chronic infections. We have also generated primary cells from sheep mammary gland to overcome the scarcity of the highly reliable cell line model to study the M. agalactiae infections in vitro. Show less
