CURRENT RESEARCH FOCUS During my doctoral research work form NCCS, Pune I got a glimpse of the very exciting and thrilling field of Immunology. This led me to further continue my research work in the field of Bone and Immunology at Columbia University Medical Centre, NY, USA and Roswell Park Cancer Institute (RPCI), New York, USA. After coming back to India in 2013 as an Assistant professor at Central University, Sagar (MP), and now at All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), New Delhi, I am actively involved in deciphering this new field which is still in its very naive state. My research specifically focuses on the cellular and molecular interactions between the Immune and Bone systems i.e 'Osteoimmunology” (Frontiers in Biosciences, 2018), a very recent branch of modern biology which specifically deals with the interplay between the immune cells (CD4, CD8 T cells, B cells, DCs, Macrophages, ILCs etc.) and bone cells (Osteoclast, Osteoblast & Osteocytes). During normal physiology both systems are at homeostasis but during an imbalance due to various stimuli (infection, autoimmunity, environment, ageing, hormones etc.), it leads to various inflammatory conditions such as Osteoarthritis, Rheumatoid Arthritis & Osteoporosis (viz. post-menopausal osteoporosis-PMO). Thus, a molecular understanding of these interactions is at the heart of my research which would ultimately lead to discovery of novel therapeutics for various inflammatory bone conditions. My Translational Immunology, Osteoimmunology & Immunoporosis Lab (TIOIL) for the first time had clearly highlighted and established the specific role of immune system in the development and pathophysiology of post-menopausal osteoporosis leading to establishment of a new field of biology proposed/coined by me as 'Immunoporosis: The Immunology of Osteoporosis”. The breakthrough moment was when we discovered the pivotal role of 'Treg-Th17 cell axis” in inflammatory bone loss in PMO. Moving ahead we recently discovered the role of Bregs in Osteoclastogenesis and Osteoporosis (2021). SELECTED PUBLICATIONS 1.

Osteoporosis is defined as a systemic bone loss disease exemplified by the deterioration of bone tissues and low bone mineral density (BMD), subsequently leading to an enhanced risk of developing fragility-related fractures. It’s a chronic inflammatory condition and is the 4th most burdensome chronic disease after ischemic heart disease, dementia, and lung cancer, with a huge economic burden on the world economy. This skeletal disorder affects predominantly women compared to men, and the risk increases with age. Although currently available therapies to treat osteoporosis are effective, side effects (real and perceived) are impediments to treatment adherence by the patients. Thus, there is an exigent need for renewed interest in managing osteoporosis with a better understanding of the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment regime so that safer and more effective management and treatment modalities can be developed. Research in the last decade has led to enormous interest in the pathophysiology of osteoporosis. Importantly, the immune system is now an established player in the development of osteoporosis (Immunoporosis). Also, various off-the-track management and treatment approaches (probiotics, Synbiotics, FMT, etc.) are now being considered for managing osteoporosis. The present edited book will compile the latest trends and knowledge in the field, thereby creating a novel knowledge database for effective and efficient management and therapy of osteoporosis.
