Research

During his post-doctoral studies at Stanford University, Anuranjan Anand worked with his colleagues in Bruce Baker's laboratory on the mutations of fruitless, a gene involved in sexual behavior and courtship in Drosophila melanogaster.[2] In JNCASR, his main focus has been on human genetic diseases with emphasis on neurological disorders, hereditary hearing loss and rare developmental disorders[8] His laboratory has discovered several genes and mutations underlying these disorders and is currently examining their biological underpinnings employing cellular, molecular and animal modeling approaches [9][10][11][12][13]

Honors

Anuranjan Anand received an Outstanding Research Investigator Award from the Department of Atomic Energy in the years 2006-2010. The Department of Biotechnology awarded him the National Bioscience Award for Career Development during 2008-2011.[14] He is an elected fellow of the Indian Academy of Sciences, [15] National Academy of Sciences, India,[16] and Indian National Science Academy.[17]
