Dr. Ashwani Kumar
Molecular Mycobacteriology Laboratory
CSIR-Institute of
Microbial Technology
Chandigarh
Expertise: Tuberculosis pathogenesis and infectious diseases.
Profile: My laboratory focuses at understanding the mechanisms used by Mycobacterium to display phenotypic drug resistance. Towards this, we try to understand the physiology in biofilm resident bacteria and during the non-replicating persistence. More specifically, we are interested in understanding the nature of extracellular polysaccharides of mycobacterial biofilms and the role of SenX-RegX3 two component system in regulation of virulence and mycobacterial replication. We are also developing tools for measurement of the metabolic and redox state of the mycobacteria during infection. Another interest of the laboratory is to understand the contribution of the lung microbiome in the tuberculosis pathogenesis.
