RESEARCH TEAM
PHD (ON GOING)
AJITH V. JOHNSON
Title of Thesis: Concentrating on the aquatic pollutants that produce neurobehavioral alterations in Zebrafish models and how they lead to cognitive impairments. This would allow to greater understanding of aquatic toxin which affect the non-target organisms. |

ASWATHY SIVARAMAN
MSc, CSIR-UGC-JRF
Title of Thesis: Currently focusing on the phenotypic behaviours of zebrafish shoal in socially isolated environment. This area will provide great insight about the importance of sociability in the current situation and in mental wellbeing. This area also focusing on the possibilities of zebrafish to study autistic behaviours. |

DHANUSHA S.
MSc, CSIR-UGC-JRF
Title of Thesis: Behavioralphenomics of Zebra fish in association with change in environmental parameters. How these parameters will affect gut microbial dynamics in adult Zebrafish. |

ATHEENA AMAR K.
MSc, KSCSTE Fellowship
Title of Thesis: Focusing on anxiety related behavioural plasticity in Zebrafish with special emphasis on gender specificity. This approach would ensure better understanding of the disease and its underlying neural mechanism. |
