Tony joined AIIMS as faculty in 2014. He is continuing his work on the pathogenesis of pancreatitis. Now, he and his team have also established two surgical models of acute pancreatitis in rats at the Institute, which also measures organ dysfunction. He is also working on two models of chronic pancreatitis. His work includes the role of autophagy, cell death and inflammation in the pathogenesis of acute and chronic pancreatitis. He also studies the development and effect of aging on the various components of the human auditory system.

He is interested in teaching various aspects of anatomy and has a special interest in history, especially that of medical education. He is also a resource person for Mentoring, Interpersonal Communication Skills and Personality Development in the Health Sector and also for medical research, writing a manuscript and the process of reviewing and editing.

Dr TC Nag received his doctoral degree (1991) from the University of Calcutta, Kolkata. He was a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Biology, University of Montréal, Canada (1993) and later worked as a research associate and Pool Officer in Neurobiology Laboratory at the Department of Anatomy, AIIMS, New Delhi (1995-1998). He also worked as a lecturer in West Bengal Educational Service (1998-2001) after which he joined as an assistant professor in the electron microscopy section of the department (2001). He is a recipient of Shakuntala Amir Chand Prize of ICMR (1999), SS Parmar Foundation Award and JR Bhattacharjee Award of Indian Academy of Neurosciences and AIIMS Research excellence award (2015) and is a member of National Academy of Sciences, Allahabad and Associate Editor, Journal of Biochemical and Molecular Toxicology (Wiley).

Dr Renu Dhingra joined BSc (Hons) Human Biology at AIIMS, then completed her MSc (Anatomy) at AIIMS, followed by a PhD. She further worked as a Senior Demonstrator in the Department of Anatomy, AIIMS. Later, she joined University College of Medical Sciences, New Delhi as a Lecturer and thereafter at Gulf Medical College Ajman, UAE. Subsequently, she joined the department of Anatomy at AIIMS as an Assistant Professor.

Her research interest is in placental biology. At present, she is working on ‘apoptotic, oxidative endoplasmic reticulum stress and angiogenetic markers in pre –eclampsia . Her current research also focuses on migration and invasion studies on trophoblastic cells. The laboratory has the infrastructure for handling cell lines, conducting in-vitro assays, apoptotic, cytotoxic assays and other molecular biology techniques like ELISA, Immunofluorescence, Western Blot and PCR.

She has established the Plastination laboratory in the department. The plastinated specimens serve as valuable adjuncts for teaching Anatomy to undergraduate and postgraduate students.

Prof. Arundhati Sharma did her graduation (B. Sc) and post graduation (M. Sc) in Genetics and Molecular Biology from Osmania and Pune University, respectively. She did her Ph D in Human Genetics from Nizam’s Institute of Medical Sciences and did her subsequent post doctoral work in the Department of Medical Genetics, SGPGIMS, Lucknow. Later, she joined as Assistant Professor of Genetics in the Department of Anatomy, AIIMS. Her work includes teaching, training and providing diagnostic facilities in the field of Human genetics. Her laboratory provides the following:

Diagnostic and patient care services- conventional cytogenetic services (Karyotyping) and other chromosomal studies. Molecular cytogenetic services using fluorescent in-situ hybridization (FISH) for various genetic numerical and structural abnormalities, cancers and other genetic conditions. Research interests include genetics of various endocrine and eye disorders, identification of biomarkers for prognostic and diagnostic purposes for various cancers and adverse drug reactions, and studies of Addiction genetics, i.e. identification of the genetic contribution to alcohol and drug dependence.
