His research interests include developing novel technology to map genetic markers and gene-regulatory elements that influence expression of genes from large distances along the DNA and application of such genomic/molecular genetic technologies to understand eukaryotic gene regulation using the zebra fish model system. He completed his undergraduate studies in Chemistry from IIT-Kharagpur and IIT-Kanpur, India. He received his PhD in Chemistry from Columbia University, New York. His Postdoctoral training was at MIT-Biology, Cambridge, Massachusetts, and Princeton University, Princeton, NJ.
