In Food Toxicology lab, our group is working on the safety and allergenicity assessment of Genetically Modified crops. The studies include both in silico and experimental approaches. Sequence homology studies are going on to find-out similarities in primary structure (amino acid sequence) of the transgenic protein with the sequence of allergenic proteins to predict its allergenicity/ antigenicity using bioinformatics approaches. We are also trying to work on common allergenic motif (if any) present among different allergic proteins of various foods.
Studies are going on in the field of detection, quantification and risk assessment of Mycotoxins. Mycotoxins are toxins produced by fungus ...
